Saturday on the Slopes

Feb. 28, 2026

Can you believe it’s March?! Luckily, ski resorts are still making the most of the cold weather as we start to bridge the gap between winter and spring. This Saturday, Crystal Mountain gets the party started with Mardi Gras on the Mountain (pictured), running all day March 7 with lift ticket discounts for those in costume (there’s even mask-making from 1-3pm!), a southern-inspired feast at Lodge Deck, a slopeside DJ, a scavenger hunt, and more. Meanwhile, Gaylord’s Treetops Resort hosts their throwback Sylvan Daze (a nod to their 1950s name), with retro ski gear encouraged. Sylvan Daze includes a slush cup, and up in Bellaire, Shanty Creek is getting slushy too, with a 2pm competition for ​​skiers and riders to attempt to cross an icy 40-foot pond. Last but not least, catch the Nub’s Nob Open Slalom Race for the speed racers among us. Find details on each resort’s website.
