We expect that the Upper Basin will remain closed on Saturday. It will re-open when conditions permit. A classic spring conditions cycle is likely to emerge this weekend, with overnight firm-ups followed by softening during the daytime. 

The snow is staying soft, and soft snow is where it is at. Think playful turns, slashy sides, and that smooth spring feel under your board or skis.

The dynamic nature of last week’s weather has resulted in increasing avalanche risk in the Upper Basin. There is a strong likelihood that the Upper Basin will remain closed on Friday (3/20) and Saturday (3/21).

Yesterday delivered some spring corn conditions, and we’re expecting a similar feel today, though things will likely start a bit softer this morning.

The morning is starting mild and breezy here at The Ridge, with overnight temps in the 30s on the upper mountain and 40s on the lower mountain keeping conditions largely spring-like.

Temperatures remained well above freezing overnight, and we’re starting the day with a much more spring-like feel across the mountain. As a result, surface conditions are expected to be soft, wet, and on the slower side today.
