Tough viz? Wave thy magic wand
Thursday 3/5:
Powder Alert!
12:20pm Update: Northwest is now open.
9:40am Update: Outback is now open.
8:45am Update: Cloudchaser will be slated to open at 9am.
7:00am Update: We received 6" of new snow overnight for a total of a foot received in the past 48 hours. Cold overnight temps made for relatively low-density snow that should offer up some great fresh tracks this morning. Snow showers are expected to continue, and forecasts call for occasional glimpses of sunshine, along with lingering winds that should continue to decrease throughout the day.
While winds are expected to die down, we're still seeing occasional strong gusts that will have Cloudchaser starting the day on hold. Outback and Northwest will also start the day on hold for storm recovery and Patrol assessment.
Today also marks our first Play Forever Thursday of March. We're offering lift tickets online for $99, with a portion of each purchase donated to local non-profit organization, OUT Central Oregon. You can learn more by stopping by their table in front of Cocoa's in the West Village Lodge, today from 12:30pm to 2:30pm.
Be Advised: Keep your speed in check and stay in control. Give other skiers and riders adequate space. Coverage remains thin across the mountain. Please stick to open/named runs, expect marked and unmarked obstacles, and ski or ride with caution.
Snow immersion suffocation (SIS) and tree well risk exist today. Ski or ride with a partner and keep them in sight at all times. Stick to open, groomed trails to minimize SIS hazards. Educate yourself on deep snow safety here.
Be prepared for winter driving - AWD/4WD, high-clearance vehicles, and chains or snow tires are recommended. Check ODOT for real-time weather, traffic, and road conditions.
