Today I decided to leave from the Mission Ridge Base Area to check out the Lake Clara Trail – my first adventure at The Ridge since Closing Day on April 27th. I was curious to see whether spring had yet sprung on this 3-mile-roundtrip trail that winds through the forests beneath Mission Peak to its namesake lake, and by the end of the hike my conclusion was: sort of.
IT'S NOT OVER YET! We've still got several skiable hours left in the season and I think they're going to be good ones. Overnight temperatures had the decency to be closer to freezing than the night before which will potentially lengthen our structured morning for a while. I'm still asking if it's T-shirt weather yet, and it might be for you with the high forecast for the low 40s and lots of sun.
Get ready for an awesome Closing Day on The Ridge to round out the 24/25 Season! Fittingly, we're expecting continued balmy temperatures as the second day of Flamingo Days takes flight into clear blue skies!
Is it T-shirt weather yet? It depends on your cold tolerance. With a high in the high 40s and lots of sun in the forecast, I think we're getting close. The last time the mountain even thought about below freezing temperatures was a few days ago and I wish I had a corny joke for you about that but I anticipate the snow is going to be soft, wet, and thick.
Get ready for full-on spring conditions at The Ridge this weekend! Expect firm snow in the mornings, transitioning to soft and wet conditions by midday and into the afternoon as the sun does its work.
