Now 2026-27 pass units are down 12 per cent as of 18 September, worse than the 10 per cent flagged in spring.

Arizona Snowbowl's $1 Lift Tickets Are Hard to Find, but $9 Days Are Not

For years, Whitewater's Short Side was where you ducked a rope and hoped for the best: unmapped, ungroomed and unpatrolled. This winter it's inbounds. Six new runs of glades and fall-line skiing add 190 acres (about 77 hectares), taking the resort past 1,400 acres in total. F2 Logging spent a month in the trees to make it happen, and opening day is pencilled in for 4 December. Bonanza now needs less snow to groom, too.

Sölden Plans Four-Race World Cup Opener on the Rettenbach Glacier from 2027
