Information
It's shaping up to be an awesome day up here on the slopes! It's a beautiful bluebird day to enjoy some corduroy.Our grooming and snowmaking teams have enjoyed a stellar night of calm, cold conditions and the trails and parks will start out in primo condition. You'll find chalky corduroy across all groomed surfaces to begin with and the snow guns should keep running through the day which means silky smooth freshies for as long as your legs hold out!Unfortunately, things are a little more sketchy off-trail where the snow pack has been stripped back to a firm base. We do hope to have Mid Towers open where you can access some tracked powder pockets - if you are planning to head off-trail, please check signage and ski/ride to your ability level.We look forward to seeing you soon.
