January 2026 at Greek Peak
Winter’s in full swing at Greek Peak—December 19 marked the earliest in our history we’ve had all lifts spinning as a result of snow-making efforts, and we got an early start on night skiing, too. Add in a little feel-good momentum: Donation Day on Christmas Eve set a new record this year.
Looking for off-slope ways to make the most of January? Warm up at Cascades Indoor Waterpark (84° all day), treat yourself to seasonal specials at Waterfalls Spa, and if you’re one of the many couples who just got engaged over the holidays—our weddings team is already booking ahead with 2026 dates still available and a planning experience designed to keep everything simple and in one place.

Donation Day a HUGE Success

Skiing With Kids: The “No-Meltdown” Game Plan
Alright. Skiing with kids is how family legends are made. It’s also how perfectly normal adults end up negotiating with a 7-year-old in ski boots like it’s a hostage situation. Most “kid meltdowns” aren’t mystery behavior. They’re usually one of five things: cold, hungry, uncomfortable, tired, or bored. So let’s build a ski day that doesn’t walk straight into those traps.
