Snow Reporter's Update

Mountain Report 4/1 - Powder Alert!

Up Next: Days like today are what spring skiing dreams are made of – a winter extension! Those able to join enjoyed an abundance of fresh snow, calm winds and nonexistent lift lines. Tonight’s forecast calls for another possible 2” of fresh snow and cold temps in the upper teens.  And the goodness continues tomorrow with a forecasted high of 30°, a light breeze and snow flurries continuing throughout the day. See you here for your mid-week turns!

9:30am Update: The West Bowls are now open. As always, ski and ride with a buddy keeping them in sight at all times.

9:00am Update: The West Bowls will remain closed pending patrol assessment. Check the Lift & Trail Status page for updates.

7:00am Update: No joke, winter conditions are holding strong here on this fine first day of April! We’re waking up to 5” of fresh snow, and it’s still coming down, with more expected throughout the day. With a foot of fresh snow received over the last two days, pillowy powder turns are on deck for today! Temperatures remained cold overnight and are hovering in the upper teens at mid-mountain with a high of 30° expected. Winds are calm on much of the mountain, although slightly stronger on the west side and are expected to increase to around 15-30 mph by the end of the day. Our Spring Pass access starts today, grab yours and let’s make the most of this incredible spring skiing. We’ll see you up here!
