Announcements
Two new inches of fresh snow is what we received in the last twenty four hours making this Thursday morning, a beautiful one! Temperatures will be rising this weekend as well with highs in the upper thirties and you can expect similar temperatures throughout the weekend. As I look outside I can see clear skies, but the weather is calling for a 50 percent chance of snow to fall today. Snow is also in the forecast for tomorrow with another 30 percent chance on Saturday.

Today's winds will be calm and flowing at about 5 mph and the conditions on the Mountain will be packed powder. We currently have an 86 inch base with 16 lifts open and a total of 1177 acres of terrain just waiting for you to come up and ski or ride! If it's groomers you are looking for, we've got 480 acres of "Colorado's Best Corduroy" right here for you to enjoy! Be sure to take a run down Crystal because it is our groomer's choice for today!
