Summer Hours
Check out our summer operational hours to plan your perfect visit to the 5506′ Skybar.
Summer Season:
During the summer, 5506′ is accessible exclusively by lift ride. There is no parking or drop-off available at the summit. Lift tickets can be conveniently purchased at Ski Beech Sports in the resort village. For those seeking a bit more adventure, hiking to the 5,506′ elevation from the mountain’s base is also welcome!
Winter Season:
In winter, access to 5506′ is reserved for skiers and snowboarders with valid lift tickets. Guests must ride the chairlift to the summit and are required to ski or snowboard down the mountain—riding the chairlift back down is not an option. We encourage all guests to enjoy responsibly.
