Information
Today is turning into a gorgeous blue bird day with north westerlies looking to ease slightly around midday. We have the Nor'West, Sunkid, and Magic Carpet lifts up and running.Triple towers remain on wind hold, keep checking the website for more updates.Chalky snow conditions on all groomed terrain coupled with relatively quiet slopes should make for a fantastic day of skiing and riding up here today.Our off-trail snow pack has been stripped back to a firm base in areas exposed to the wind but there will be some nice pockets of wind-blown powder up for grabs if you get creative. If you are planning to head off-trail, please check signage and ski/ride to your ability level.We look forward to seeing you up here!
