The mountain came alive on New Year’s Eve!
Revelers toasted, danced, watched the ball drop in multiple time zones and made new friends. No matter what atmosphere people preferred for the biggest party of the year, it was on offer on Dec. 31.
If you stayed home in front of a cozy fire with loved ones, here’s what you might have to look forward to in 2025:

Managers Erin and Bergen provided a laid-back, congenial atmosphere with great music and toasts on the hour in each American time zone.
