How to open night skiing and find missing night guests

Follow these steps

1. Choose one complete evening route

   Start with a connected descent and a lift you can afford to operate. Keep the lower exit and services reachable. Pick a run that serves a real guest skill group; specialist guests need their kind of terrain lit if you want them to stay for night skiing. This guide does not assume every run needs night lights.

2. Place lights before enabling the trail

   Open the build menu’s lighting options and use the placement preview to cover the chosen descent. In the public example, Tower Lights cover the runs; small village/path lamps are not evidence of full trail coverage. Walk the camera down the run and fill dark gaps, especially bends and lower sections, before opening it for night use.

3. Enable Night skiing on each intended trail

   Select the trail, open Edit and turn on Night skiing. Repeat for the other run only if it is also lit. The shown control says Stay open till 21:00. Read its active state after clicking and confirm the edit if the editor requires it; the example image locates the switch before it is enabled.

4. Check the serving lift’s actual hours

   Select the relevant lift and open Hours. Confirm its displayed close time reaches the night period. Recheck manually adjusted lifts even if another lift updated automatically: the author explicitly returns to a previously changed lift and sets it back to 21:00. The captured state below reads Operating and Open 08:00–21:00; the author’s later discussion of 07:00 does not change what this frame shows.

5. Observe boarding after dark and recheck coverage

   Advance into the evening. Follow a guest boarding the chosen lift and skiing the lit descent. Look for dark sections even after the system is open; in the same video the author returns to add more lights where coverage looks weak. Check the linked food/drink venues separately if evening guests have nowhere to meet their needs.

What success looks like

The trail’s night setting is enabled, its route has light coverage, and the serving lift displays suitable hours and carries guests during the evening. A glowing lamp alone does not complete the test.

If it does not work

If lamps are on but the slope is empty, check the trail toggle and the correct lift’s Hours before buying more lights. If the lift closes, read whether it has a lit run to serve or is held for weather or maintenance. If only some guest types leave, check whether their suitable terrain is lit. More revenue in a video with many simultaneous changes is not a measured night-skiing profit guarantee.
