Exclusive Cloudsplitter Gondola for Top-of-the Mountain Viewing
The most exclusive ticket in town! From 2 pm to 4:45 pm, a limited $50 special viewing ticket for foot passengers only will be available for access to Little Whiteface. The ticket includes a roundtrip Cloudsplitter Gondola Ride, with access to the Little Whiteface Deck.
Tickets will be for sale online and are limited to 125 people. Please note that this ticket cannot be combined with ANY other discount or offer (it is not included in the Olympic Sites Passport, Season Passes, or Season Pass Perks). Tickets will be on sale after March 20th.
The partial eclipse starts 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, including the Cloudsplitter Gondola, will close for skiers and riders at 2:00 p.m.
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.
