 does the night skiing pass cover every day of the week, or only certain days?

how much of the mountain/parks are open?

thanks NS

The medium park pick and shovel is lighted this year, and I believe it is everyday of the week.

I believe night skiing is 4-9 every day starting around christmas until like mid march.

And they have only like 3 lifts lit now, but there will be a small jib park and the full medium park, pick and shovel, completely lit.

Super icy in the spring when it melts more during the day, but winter should be fine. Firm, but shred-able.

i used to night ski quite a bit when they just had the little park. can't wait for a real park. good lenses warm clothes and a flask are essential, but its really not that icy, pretty bearable.

Some of my best pow days last year was during nightskiing. We have some good zones that are lit up around here, so no, nightskiing is not always icy.

i was checking out thier map for this year and it had a new Three Kings park next to Pick and Shovel.

In the most recent Freeskier issue I've received, there is a Park City add claiming that the Three Kings park will have night skiing until 9Pm.

Ill try and post a picture. Sorry if the quality is poor

The new Three Kings Park is Pick n Shovel. The change in name is to help show the fact that it is a newer, bigger park.
