Snow Reporter Comments

Noon: Well the winds are dying down a bit and the sun is coming out with some patches of blue skies so come on up and take a few laps in the snow. Don't forget to warm up at Taps for Whiskey Wednesday from 3-6pm -SD

1100am:  OPERATION UPDATE - The Great Escape Quad and Musical Chairs are now loading public. SM

9am: It looks like the fog is lifting a little bit and the frontside lift lines are practically nonexistent so come on up and have the mountain to yourself. -SD

8am: Still pretty calm out there. It'd be a great day to take the hill all to yourself. Trust me when I say you don't have to worry about lift lines or anybody around you on the trails. -JR

7am: Tubing and Night skiing are going on today!! Tubing kicks off at 11:30am and runs til Night skiing closes at 7pm! Night Skiing will be down on Happy Trails and the Enchanted forest accessed by Musical Chairs. -JR

6am: Considering there are calm winds in the village... Today would be a great day to learn another snow sport!! Ski school will still be here teaching away and our bunny hill is one of the best around. Take a chance and learn something new or fun. Grab a board or some skis!

5am: It did rain on the mountain last night. Grooming said that it did cool down up top and left a skiff of new snow. The backside will not open today. Reduced ticket prices are in effect. Literally no wind in the village right now. High gusting winds at the top of the mountain. The triple and great escape are on the schedule to operate. I'll keep you updated as often and soon as I can on any operation updates. Lift updates usually come in after 7:30. -JR
