Hey folks! So I’m pretty sure it’s no secret that spring has made a VERY early appearance this season. We received over an inch of rain yesterday and this afternoon topped out around 50 degrees. With that said, WE AREN’T WAVING THE WHITE FLAG YET!
After about 7 hours of snow farming, I’m happy to report that we will be open this weekend! North Slope and Silversmith have near full coverage from top to bottom and I’m expecting some great spring conditions over there. South did not fair quite as well through the rain, but I was able to move enough snow around to get it covered about two-thirds of its width all the way down. FYI, there will be some thin and bare spots coming from the top of ridge runner to south. I expect some pretty decent skiing over there as well, however with the number of natural obstacles and the typical nature of spring snow, I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners or early intermediates. Bunny Bowl, however, has full coverage and will be open on both sides of the carpet as tubing has ended for the season.
Here is the schedule we plan to run with over the next couple weeks, obviously VERY weather/snowpack dependent:
Friday 3/8: 10am-9pm (final night ski of the season!)
Saturday 3/9: 9am-4pm (final early pass holder rides of the season at 8:30AM)
Sunday 3/10: 10am-4pm (delayed opening to assess damage from the expected rains Saturday evening)
Friday 3/15: 10am-4pm
Saturday 3/16: 10am-4pm (Pond Skim TBA)
Sunday 3/17: 10am-pm (Pond Skim rain date TBA and St. Patrick’s Day Celebration)
Weekend of 3/23: Season Ending Rail Jam TBA
The final night of beer league racing and final day race have been cancelled. However, we are going to have our end of league party this Sunday at 3pm (updated date!) in the Tavern with free food and drinks for all racers and live music from Rebecca Miner. Hope to see you all there!
So, moral of the story is that we’re doing everything we can to keep this season going! Come on out while you can and enjoy some soft spring turns with us!
Appreciate you all and we’ll see ya at the finish line of this whacky season!
