Uphill Travel is Allowed on Green Days From 4:00 am - 8:30 am  Month of March Green.

The Uphill Travel status is posted on Cherry Peak  Mountain Conditions at 6:30 am daily to alert guests if the conditions are green or red.  The daily status may also be found by calling the Snow Phone at 435-200-1234. Uphill travel goes red at 8:30 am. We are no longer offering night up hilling EXCEPT during the Full Moon each month. Uphill travel is only open to skiers, snowboarders, and snow shoes. We do not allow fat biking on our uphill route.

On Green Days, uphill travel is permitted if you abide by the following rules:

• When traveling uphill, stay in the middle of the trail.

• If you come to a sign that reads “Grooming in Progress”, this ends your ascent. Do not travel around snow cats.

• All uphill travelers must be equipped with lights and ON front and back.

• No dogs are allowed on the mountain.

• Only stop where you can be seen from above and below.

• Your uphill route is your downhill route.

• All uphill travel must cease by 8:30 am.

• For everyone’s safety, stay on the approved route.  If found off the approved route, there will be consequences.

        The ONLY approved routes are Long Mosey.

ABSOLUTELY  STAY OFF FRESH GROOMERS 

 

Please be courteous of snow removal efforts in the parking lots in the morning on snow days. Do not park in areas that have not been plowed or where snow plows are working!

Please do not ski/ride on freshly groomed runs! Our groomer operators try very hard to leave a great surface for our guests. If you make turns in fresh soft corduroy it will freeze and leave a hazard for our guests during the day.

MOUNTAIN ALWAYS CLOSED TO ALL SKIING 4 PM TO 5 PM DAILY DUE TO MOUNTAIN PREP AND GROOMING!

Saftey

Complementing the Responsibility Code and it’s 7 tenets, #RideAnotherDay promotes 3 actions every skier and rider can take to help keep themselves and those around safer on the slopes. These three actions are:

1. BE READY

Be ready to slow down or avoid objects or other people at any time. Ski and ride in such a way that you are always able to control yourself regardless of conditions and avoid others and objects you may encounter on the run, groomed or otherwise.

 

2. STAY ALERT

Stay alert to what’s going on around you, especially other skiers and riders. Being aware of those around and changing conditions will help you have a fun and safe day on the hill.

 

3. PLAN AHEAD

Ease up at blind spots, check uphill when merging onto trails, and give other skiers plenty of room when passing. Look out for spots on the run where traffic merges or you can’t see what’s coming next. If you are unfamiliar with a run, take it easy the first time down it and make note of places where you’ll want to slow down, such as cat tracks and rollers. Also, give other skiers and riders lots or room, especially if you are passing them. There’s plenty of space out there, so there’s no need to crowd each other.

By doing these three things every run, you’ll be helping keep the slopes safe and enjoyable, for you and everyone else.
