All guests must use access gates regardless of website status. Website information is intended to inform the guest of terrain status, but it is the guest’s responsibility to confirm the area is open by entering through an access gate.  Signage on the mountain supersedes website information. Failure to use access gates may result in loss of pass privileges.
