4:00pm Conditions Report:Â
Who’s ready for Night 2!? We’ve had an awesome day of riding after a surprise over-performance of last night’s storm that resulted in 4 inches of overnight snowfall. As we move toward night, there’s still some soft conditions out there but it’s gotten variable after a day of skier traffic. Look for softer snow along the edges of trails with highly trafficked areas getting scraped off to reveal firmer conditions below. We’re enjoying our first day of mostly clear skies in a while, leaving a chance for an awesome sunset tonight and good visibility. Clouds may start to move in as the night progresses. The forecast is looking pretty chilly so make sure to dress for the weather. Fortunately, winds will be dying down over time but it will still be quite cold with temps in the teens at the summit.
Fortunately, there’s a lot to do tonight if you get cold. Panda Conspiracy will be playing live in the Hampton Lodge from 6:30-8:30. Come join us for some great live music over a hearty dinner and some warm drinks (or cold drinks, if you prefer). It’s gonna be a festive evening in the lodge.
When you’re out riding, please keep in mind that there is no easy way down from Chair 2 during night skiing. Chair 2 night terrain is for advanced skiers and riders who are familiar with Chair 2 terrain or similar. If you’re still getting your riding legs under you for this winter, we’ve got options on Pika Peak & Chair 1 to get started off on before heading all the way to the summit. We’ll see you on the mountain!
