11:15am Parking Update:Â Spots are opening up in the base area lots.
10am Lift Status Update: Chair 2 is currently on hold due to high winds. We will continue to update on its status throughout the day.
9:50am Conditions Update:Â It’s deep and it’s still coming down! What an incredible morning at The Ridge and we couldn’t think of a more fitting way to spend the day after Christmas! While conditions are excellent, please do be advised that we are experiencing significant winds near the summit that may affect the operation of Chair 2. Winds are excepted to begin waning in the afternoon.
9:30am Parking Update: Main Base Area lots are starting to fill up. Once full, we will be shuttling from lots further down the mountain.
6:30am Conditions Report: The holiday gifts just keep coming as we’ve received 8″ of new snow in the last 24 hours! The forecast calls for continued snow throughout the day and night, with another 4″ to 8″ possible by the end of the evening. The storm that is delivering this new snow is also bringing with it some strong winds at times, which look like they could stick around through the noon hour and then start to taper into the afternoon. Based on the forecast, there is a possibility that the winds will impact chair operations, especially on the Wenatchee Express (Chair 2) today. Stay tuned to the Mountain Report page for the latest lift status.
Tonight also kicks off a 10-night stretch of Night Skiing. We will be open from 9am to 9pm today through January 4th!
2024 is going out with a powdery bang. Help us ring in 2025 with some amazing turns up on The Ridge.
See you on the mountain!
