Closet Ski Lift Chair
Snowflake Lift - usually opens around Thanksgiving Week/Weekend during the Ski Season.
The lifts open everyday at 8:30 a.m. and close at 4 p.m.
Best Access is via Breck Free Ridge (Grey Route Southside).
You want a challenge? I recommend hiking this uphill with ski/snowboard with gear and boots, distance = 10 +/- min (0.3 mile).
However, You essentially have direct access OFF the mountain from Lower 4 O'Clock Ski/Trail across the Blazing Saddles Complex where you will be staying.
(On rare occasions, lifts may temporarily close during the day due to high winds or lightning.)
