Cue the Jim Morrison and The Doors..."This is the end, my only friend, the end"
Depsite the curve that Mother Nature threw our way today, Camelback will open tomorrow. Like any good hitter, we just sat back and took it the other way. No hard feeling Momma Nature, you served up a healthy dose of belt-high-batting-practice fastballs all season long. (Sorry for the baseball analogies, but it's Spring Baby..."Put me in Coach, I'm ready to play).
Okay, okay, here it is, straight from the big board:
We anticipate opening the Glen Lift at 8:30 a.m. Trail access will be limited to the GlenTerrainPark. SuperPass holders can ride the Glen Lift and access the Glen Terrain park to get first trax beginning at 7:30 a.m. Also, the Sunbowl slope will not be open, so skiers and riders should plan accordingly.
Please visit skicamelback.com prior to leaving in the morning, to confirm timings and to see if we have added the Sullivan lift with access to other trails.
The Sunbowl Complex will open at 8am to sell tickets and service the Glen Lift. Parking will also be available. Enjoy traditional BBQ fare (weather permitting) on the Sunbowl Deck for lunch. Guest Services will also be open at 8am, and will offer ticketing when the Sullivan Lift becomes operational.
The afternoon festivities, including the annual end-of-season photo, live entertainment and a great happy hour is still planned for the Thirsty Camel and Main Base Area.
Due to weather conditions we will not know what trails we will open tomorrow until early morning April 4th. While it is possible that the Sullivan Lift will open, it is unlikely that there will be connected service from the top of the Sullivan to the GlenTerrainPark, so skiers and riders should reference trail maps and plan accordingly.
- Lift tickets for Saturday will be $9.99 per person, any age.
- SnowSportsSchool will be unavailable on Saturday.
- Our rental shop will be unavailable on Saturday; however rentals can be purchased at The Loft on Sullivan Trail.
- The annual end of the season photo will be at 5 p.m. on the Main Deck.
- There will be drink specials and food available in the Thirsty Camel beginning at 4pm.
- Zac Lawless will be performing in the Thirsty Camel from 2-6 p.m.
Once again, here's to an epic season...The Camel and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Play Ball,
Ricky (and The Camel)
