The Ultimate Après Eclipse
Whiteface Mountain is excited to host an epic après for the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8.

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event at the mountain with unparalleled views from the Cloudspin Bar & Grill presented by Saratoga Eagle deck at the Main Base Lodge!

Tickets should be purchased online in advance and lifts are open for skiing and riding that day from 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on all lifts, lower mountain lifts will stay open until 3:00 p.m. Skiers and riders will be able to ski/ride down from Legacy Lodge after totality has passed.

The partial eclipse kicks off at 2:12 p.m., with totality following at 3:24 p.m. and the maximum eclipse occurring at 3:26 p.m. As a safety precaution, all upper mountain lifts will close at 2:00 p.m., including the Cloudsplitter Gondola, for skiers and riders.
Eclipse glasses and safety
Complimentary safety eclipse glasses will be provided as supplies last.
Remember: Looking directly at the eclipse without proper eye protection is never safe. Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; no matter how dark, they are not safe for viewing the Sun. Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury.
Please note: Use caution walking on walkways and parking lots, especially in buildings. Melting and freezing, as well as water and snow accumulation, can cause surfaces to become slippery at any time of the day or night. Try to clean the snow off the bottom of plastic ski boots to help prevent a slip and fall. Use footwear with good tread and/or use commercially available products made for the bottom of shoes and boots to give better traction.
Please note that the Veterans Memorial Highway will NOT be open at this time.
