10:00 Conditions Update:Â
Groomed runs are skiing impressively well to start the morning, with soft, consistent, silky surfaces from top to bottom. Some of the best carving conditions of the season so far, and it’s all thanks to the snowmaking team who are continuing to give it their all! The guns were on blast all night (in addition to a trace of natural snowfall), and they will remain active for as long as temps allow. The Fun Park in particular is enjoying some man-made pow atop the groomed surfaces. The snowpack underlying the corduroy currently consists of several inches of sugary man-made snow atop hardpack, and skiing will remain soft and consistent until hardpack becomes exposed. Since it’s a fairly popular day on the mountain, get here soon for the smoothest conditions! Later on, if you’re looking for residual soft snow, head for less-trafficked terrain, shallower pitches, or the sides of runs where snow gets pile up throughout the day. It’s been a great start to the morning, and if you’re impressed with conditions, give a shout to our snowmakers if you see them out checking guns.
6:30 Conditions Report:
Good morning skiers!
I hope you’re stoked for, and drumroll please… More sun! I know we haven’t all gotten our recommended seasonal allowance of vitamin ski so we’ve got a basking day in the forecast with part sun and comfortable temperatures predicted to reign over the mountain. A trace of snow lingers on our tire and foot traffic surfaces but I’m not seeing any snowfall in the telemetry. Maybe something managed to sneak past me and we were able to coax a little bit of white down overnight or maybe it’s a parking lot donation from our snowmaking.
Either way, I think we’ll have conditions similar to yesterday with some snowmaking at the summit to soften her up, and a firmer base to keep us grounded. It’s currently a man-made snow globe at the summit which is quite beautiful on the webcam- some big flakes twinkling as they fall through the snow gun spray. We were warmer at Midway and the Base Area and were not making snow at lower elevations but reports from last night indicate lower terrain held up better against the traffic scrape so I think there’s nothing to worry about. Expect a firm base with a creamy dreamy layer at higher elevations, and firm, potentially slightly sugary, conditions at lower elevations.
We’ve got a long day ahead of us on the slopes as we prepare for our bonus night of Night Skiing this week. Suit up and boot up and I will see you on the mountain!
