Information

The snow coverage from the ridge at 1800 m down to about 1650 m is pretty good, but there is still not enough snow to cover the tussock above Palmer. We have another storm coming in late Thursday (7/8) into Friday (8/8). The forecast is for 10 to 15 cm. We are hoping the storm exceeds the forecast and we can get open real soon. We'll be up monitoring the storm with updates through the weekend.
