MOUNTAIN IMPROVEMENTS
New Ski Runs South of Bliss
Tamarack has added new runs south of Bliss as part of post-fire recovery efforts. Logging and forest restoration operations focused on removing burned and hazard trees, clearing underbrush, and promoting long-term forest health—all while expanding skiable terrain for guests this winter.
Expanded Green Terrain
The resort's main green run, Waltz, has been significantly widened to create more room for progression and learning. Additional mobile snowmaking guns have been relocated to this area to ensure early opening conditions and consistent coverage throughout the season.
Run Mowing for Earlier Openings
For the first time in years, specialized Aebi mowers were brought in to trim vegetation on Tamarack's most popular runs—including Serenity, Showtime, and Encore. This work allows the mountain to open earlier and provides smoother, more manicured surfaces throughout the season.
New Lift Ramps Installed
New loading and unloading ramps have been installed at key chairlifts—including Discovery Chair, Tamarack Express, and Summit Express—to ensure smoother transitions for skiers and riders of all ability levels.
GUEST EXPERIENCE & MOUNTAIN AMENITIES
Mid-Mountain Lodge | Year Two
Entering its second winter, the Mid-Mountain Lodge continues to be the heart of Tamarack's on- mountain experience. Building on the success of last season, guests can expect expanded dining offerings, live music, and enhanced outdoor seating overlooking Lake Cascade.
New DJ Snowcat for Elevated Après
Tamarack is taking après to new heights—literally—with the introduction of a mobile DJ Snowcat, bringing high-energy après experiences to different mountain locations throughout the season.
Expanded Nordic Offerings
Nordic enthusiasts will enjoy expanded cross-country ski rentals, lessons, and programming this winter, solidifying Tamarack as a true all-ability, all-activity destination.
New Sport School Location
Tamarack's Sports School has moved to a new, centralized location, in the Village offering easier access for lessons, rentals, and guest check-in.
Elevation Studio | Fitness & Wellness
A brand-new Elevation Studio will open this winter, offering guests and Club members a range of fitness and wellness classes—from yoga and mobility to guided stretch and recovery sessions.
New Golf Simulator Location
The resort's indoor golf simulator has relocated to the Lodge at Osprey Meadows, providing year- round opportunities for golfers to play, train, and stay connected to the sport even through winter.
