I heard this this morning the new Game Creek and Sun Down lifts aren’t completed yet and maybe sometime in January they will be ready.
Heading out there in 2 weeks and was hoping Game Creek slopes would be skiing.

I have not seen it but last I heard Game Creek could open in 2 weeks or even earlier. You might catch it open during your trip but I would not count on it. Game Creek per se usually opens early December almost every year. Coverage looks great this year so I am sure they will open it as soon as the lift is 100% ready and safe for full time operation. They are also doing a bunch of construction at the top which might be a factor as well.

Thanks for the info. Yea, hoping we luck out. Always seemed to me that the snow on the Woods Slope didn’t get chewed up as much and held in well.
