Opening day is December 27. Here’s the plan.
Meadowlark Mountain opens for the 2026/2027 winter on Sunday, December 27th. It’s the first season under new ownership, but the mountain you know is still the mountain you’ll ski. Fourteen trails, two chairlifts, and more than 800 feet of vertical across 200 acres in the heart of the Bighorn National Forest, with even more sidecountry terrain waiting beyond the boundary.
The longer version is below — what we’ve been doing since the snow melted, what will feel different on the hill this year, and what you’ll need before you turn up on the 27th.
What’s new
Mountain Improvements
- Extensive lift inspections and maintenance completed on both chairlifts
- New groomer added to the fleet for improved trail conditions and snow management
- Trees cleared throughout the mountain to expand glade skiing terrain
- Improved access for Ski Patrol rescues and emergency response
- New Ski Patrol shack at the summit to enhance mountain operations
- All-new lift operator shacks across the mountain
