Shanty Creek Snow Report – 01/29

Schuss Mountain

Updated Wednesday, January 29

Schuss Mtn is open today 9am to 9pm with 41 of 43 slopes open. Goosebumps and Ivan’s Alley will be closed today for additional snowmaking. There will be 5 lifts servicing all runs today—the Yellow, Pink, Purple, and Red quad chair lifts. Over on the bunny hill the Magic Carpet is running. Red at 4:15pm. All others at 9pm.

Temps will be seasonally cooler (in the 20s, finally!) allowing the slopes to set up and remain firm throughout the day.

Summit Mountain

Updated Monday, Jan 27. The Black Lift has closed for the midweek, and we re-open on Friday along with the Alpine Tubing Park.

If you’re aware of micro-climate science, you probably understand why snow making conditions for Summit and Schuss can be radically different despite being within a few miles of each other. That’s because until Lake Bellaire freezes, the humidity coming off the lake can alter wet bulb measurements causing snowmaking to be much more difficult and challenging (than at Schuss). Humidity can also increase air temps by 2-4 degrees.
