Granby Ranch is rolling out major improvements for the 2025/2026 season, including new skiable terrain, expanded snowmaking, and a new dining option atop the East Peak. Read on for details about the enhancements for the upcoming season!
Opening Day
Mark your calendars! Granby Ranch kicks off the season on Wednesday, November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving. The resort is welcoming guests back with a holiday atmosphere, featuring elevated dining, special retail promotions, and a Thanksgiving Day Buffet. Snowmaking is in progress! Lift and trail availability will be determined by snow conditions, so check the resort's official website and social media channels for updates leading up to opening day.
Mountain Terrain
Introducing Renegade Ridge
Work has been completed on the territory formerly known as "C-Note." The Forestry Crew has regraded the area, performed tree removal, and added snowmaking to 7 acres of previously underutilized terrain. This newly renamed intermediate area offers skiers and riders more lines to choose from on the West Mountain.
Trail Upgrades
The Mountain Operations teams have been busy across the resort. Tree islands on the East Mountain have been thinned and cleaned up, providing improved glade skiing. Additionally, Jackpot Trail—a popular run on the West Mountain—has been widened, and its tree islands cleared to enhance flow.
New Eats on East Peak
This winter, Granby Ranch is introducing a new deck and snack hut at the top of the East Peak! It’s the perfect spot to take a break, soak in the mountain views, and refuel. The menu will feature new takes on mountain cuisine alongside ski classics.
Nordic News: Lift-Accessed Trails Return
Granby Ranch is excited to offer the second year of Lift-Accessed Nordic Skiing on the East Peak, where the Nordic Season Pass or Day Ticket now includes one lift ride granting access to the high trails. These East Peak routes feature diverse terrain winding through forests and open meadows, while the Golf Course trails provide a picturesque setting across manicured fairways with mountain views. The resort will also host two winter Nordic events: the Grand Nordic Skate Race and the Ranch 2 Ranch Trek.
