Season Info

Porters typically operates from late June through early October, with consistent conditions through the peak winter months. The mountain's southeastern facing slopes and high elevation contribute to excellent snow preservation. Strategic snowmaking capabilities complement natural snowfall on key runs, ensuring reliable coverage throughout the season. The unique geography often shields the slopes from strong winds, maximizing skiable days during the winter.
