After careful thought and deliberation of our duty in the face of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, and in what we believe is in the best interest of our guests, employees and local communities, Blue Mountain will suspend operations starting the morning of Sunday, March 15, until further notice. All lift operations, food and beverage, retail and rental services will be closed.
