HONK! HONK! Sound the horn...it's time for corn! Today it's time for warm weather wax, stunna shades, and party laps alllll day long. Join us for soft corn snow slashes and then grab a chair at any one of our lodge patios for some fresh made food and tasty cold beverages. If you opened up a fortune cookie this morning, it would say  "Don't spend Easter on your keister!"

Come make history with us for the first-ever Spring Break camper exclusive events at the White Salmon Day Lodge. There’s fun to be had for everyone with game nights featuring giant games, movie night with a showing for the little kiddos and parents, and an epic bonfire under the springtime alpenglow on Mt. Shuksan. Even if you're not planning on camping, you won't want to miss out on expanded twilight skiing on Chairs 5, 7, and 8 coming up on Thursday and Friday. Scroll down and click the links for all the details to get your plans dialed.

Slap on the sunscreen and we will see you on the mountain!
