BAKER/UNION COUNTY – (Release from Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort) Anthony Lakes is excited to announce opening day is this Saturday, December 18th! This past weekend’s storms, combined with the 8″ we received last night, have made for great opening conditions at Anthony Lakes. With more snow in the forecast, we anticipate a great holiday break of skiing and riding. Thank you, Old Man Winter and here’s to making turns at Anthony Lakes this weekend!

We’re eager to get back to a more normal season. While the lodge will be open, please be mindful and use a face covering while indoors at Anthony Lakes. The heath and safety of our staff and community is important to us. Let’s all help each other out so we can continue to ski all season long.
