3/4/26 Conditions Report

11:30 Operations Update: 

Chair 3 is now open.

10:00 Conditions Update:

There’s some sneakily great groomer conditions out there on a morning of dynamic weather! Conditions are softening up across the mountain, for two different reasons. Above Midway, we’re seeing a period of sustained snowfall that’s delivered a strong dusting atop the corduroy, creating some fun turns on a thin layer of mid-density new snow that’s allowing some fun sprays and strong edge hold. Down low, we’re seeing light rain showers with a hint of sunlight, and the corduroy is wet and soft, making for fun slushy turns in spring-style conditions. Bring a waterproof layer for your ride up Chair 1, and you’ll find good turns to be had across all elevations. Visibility is currently socked in at the summit but good down below. We will see you on the mountain!


6:30 Conditions Report: 

Good morning!

We’re getting ready for another fun day on the mountain with a weak storm affecting our region over the next couple days. Temps have fallen into the 30s on the lower mountain and the upper 20s up top, which will bring us crisper and firmer groomed runs to start the morning. In more-trafficked ungroomed areas, conditions will also start the day firm, while out-of-the-way spots retain some softer settled snow. Up top, temps should remain near or below freezing all day, maintaining those surface conditions, while lower down we could see softening into denser, grainy snow if it warms up.

We received a brief snow shower yesterday evening right around closing, and additional snow showers are likely today at the summit. Lower down, temps are marginal to start the day and we could see scattered mixed precipitation before a transition to snow showers. Total precipitation at all elevations will be intermittent and minimal, however, with most of this storm’s energy staying west of us. Later in the afternoon, temps will begin to drop and we will also see winds on the rise as we head toward closing.

Chair 3 will start the morning on a mechanical hold with the possibility of opening later. We will continue to update regarding the status of Chair 3 for the remainder of the day.

We’ll see you on the mountain!
