2026 Spring Updates

What’s Open, What’s Reopening & How to Make the Most of Your Visit

Spring in the mountains is often referred to as “shoulder season”—a time when some businesses take a well-deserved pause after a busy winter season.

You may notice:

Select lodging properties, attractions, and restaurants temporarily closed for maintenance or renovations
Local businesses are refreshing their spaces, hiring and training staff, planning new events and offerings, and adjusting hours as they prepare for the summer season
Limited midweek availability in some locations

We encourage visitors to check directly with businesses before heading out and to keep an eye on our website and social channels for the latest updates.

If you’re a member, don’t forget to send us your spring hours, updates, events, and special offers so we can help spread the word!
