East Mountain Private Yurt

 
Sometimes you need a place to gather the family, or stake out your own home base for the day. Think of the East Mountain Retreat like a beach cabana, except it’s 9,000 feet up and ski-in/ski-out. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of our mountaintop yurt, complete with an outdoor deck and fireplace for lounging between laps. The package also includes early lift access and line priority privileges all day long. Located just steps from the Outpost food truck at the top of East Mountain, the East Mountain Retreat is your cozy home away from home. Visit granbyranch.com for more information. 

 

The Outpost on East Peak


Granby Ranch has a new eatery and deck at the top of East Mountain called The Outpost. While relaxing and refueling, guests can take in expansive mountain views overlooking East Mountain, the town of Granby, and beyond. The Outpost has plenty of cocktails and drinks, and elevated takes on ski resort cuisine including specialty mac & cheese variations like bacon cheeseburger, buffalo chicken, or chili mac!

Mountain Terrain


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.


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.

 

Tours & More!

Granby Ranch is bringing back key programs for experiencing the mountain this winter, including scenic snowcat tours and snowshoe tours. These unique offerings allow guests to explore parts of the resort beyond traditional skiing and riding, creating truly memorable mountain moments.
