TODAY’S BLOG
Happy Sunday Morning! We hope you enjoyed the bluebird/sunny day yesterday, now we prepare for the big storm! It started snowing about an hour ago and we already have about 2 inches. Every weather forecast is different, some are predicting upwards of 27 to 30 inches of snow by the time it’s all said and done. They are predicting a lot of wind and the possibility of some freezing rain later this afternoon. Today we welcome our Canadian guests who are here for the next week, which, is also our last week that we are open. We close for the season on March 22nd! Tonight through Wednesday we will ski 9 AM to 7 PM. Please check out mountain operations update for which lifts will be spinning during that time. Again, come out , get your powder runs in, and enjoy the snow while you can. Drive safe while getting here today and always remember we may have to adjust operations based off the weather, which is always about safety. So get up, scrape off that car, and take your time getting here, and we’ll see you on the slopes soon!
