Chair 2 in on a mechanical hold. We will continue to update regarding the status of Chair 2 for the remainder of the day.

10:00 Conditions Update: 

Flurries are in the air this morning, with clouds enshrouding the summit while the Base Area receives intermittent sunlight from the blue skies to our east. It feels quite chilly out there, with a stout breeze at the summit reminding us that winter still has much more left to offer before spring takes hold. Snow surfaces generally reflect that overnight freeze-up, with conditions seizing up in Upper Basin in particular, creating firm groomers and very firm ungroomed terrain. As you descend onto Tumwater and below, the grooming team did an admirable job laying down some edge-able corduroy, with fairly soft snow sitting atop a stiff base lying beneath. As we await new snowfall in the coming days that should soften up our ungroomed areas, today’s a great day to cruise some groomer laps and enjoy the return of winter!

9:11am Update

All chairs and surface lifts are now in operation.

8:50am Update

Early Morning Report

Good morning skiers and riders!

Winter has made a quick return to Mission Ridge this morning after several days of spring-like conditions. Temperatures have dropped significantly overnight and strong winds are moving across the mountain, setting the stage for a much colder and blustery day on The Ridge.

With a trace of new snow overnight, we’ll start the morning with firm conditions across the mountain. Groomed runs should offer crisp corduroy, while ungroomed terrain will begin the morning firm and variable.

Today’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, but windy conditions. West winds are expected to increase throughout the day, blowing 36 to 40 mph with gusts as high as 60 mph near the summit. Wind chills could dip as low as -9 degrees, so make sure to dress warmly.

There is a slight chance of snow before late morning and again later this afternoon. Any snowfall should be light, with less than a half inch possible during the day. Areas of blowing snow may develop later this evening as winds remain strong.

All chairs are scheduled for operation today, but there will be no groomed runs off of Chair 3. Off the groomed runs you’ll find variable conditions, including firmer surfaces and areas of thin coverage. As always, please ride with caution and watch for marked and unmarked obstacles.

100Laps Terrain Park will be closed today, as the crew begins work on a new build.

We’ll see you on the mountain!

*Due to an issue with the summit weather instrumentation, our summit wind speed is not reporting accurately at this time. We are working with our partners at NWAC to resolve this issue.
