Tough viz? Wave thy magic wand
Thursday 2/26:
11:45am Update: Northwest is now open. The West Bowls and Sparks Lake Bowl remain closed and current western ski area boundary is now Upper Osprey Way > Sparks Lake Run.
7:00am Update: Good morning! The skies have cleared, making for a vibrant sunrise and treating us to a morning of stunning mountain views. We're forecast for partly sunny skies and calm winds with an afternoon high in the upper 30s. An overnight inversion has our weather stations posting a variety of temps, with readings in the teens here at West Village base, while the east side hovers around freezing. Today will likely prove a good time to implement what Bachy regulars know as the "start east" routine, as this terrain will be the first to soften up in the morning sun.
Conditions permitting, Outback is scheduled for a 9am opening today and Northwest will start the day on hold for Patrol Assessment. Kangaroo will serve as the western ski area boundary until Northwest opens. The eastern boundary remains the East Bowls > East Catchline. Please adhere to closures and check the Lift & Trail Status before heading west today.
On this Play Forever Thursday, we're once again offering up lift tickets for a mere $99 online, with a portion of each purchase benefiting local non-profit CASA of Central Oregon.
Be Advised: The snow surface is fast and firm. Keep your speed in check and stay in control. Give other skiers and riders adequate space. Despite recent snowfall, coverage remains thin across the mountain. Please stick to open/named runs, expect marked and unmarked obstacles, and ski or ride with caution.
