Hello Skiers, Summit did not open today as I thought it might, but Alpine Bowl and Wolverine were groomed. We could see the groomed tracks from the top of Roundhouse. It was a beautiful blue bird day on the hill this morning. Dance floor was groomed but somewhat firm this morning. Off piste we found…
Hello Skiers, This morning it was snowing lightly as they opened Roundhouse for the first time this year. White rain was falling from the sky. It was snow, but it was wet. If you would like to know how it felt to be on the hill this morning slip on your snow pants over a…
Hello Skiers, Wet snow fell on the upper mountain yesterday and rain lower down. This morning the mountain was in fog and overcast early, but sunshine separated the gray bringing an afternoon of blue to the area.

After getting just over 2.5 feet in the past few days, Squaw was able to open some real lifts today. Squaw Creek, Red Dog, Far East Express, and Exhibition (as well as some carpets) were all open today. After 100+ runs on Kangaroo this week, we decided to try Squaw out. That was a mistake….

Hello Skiers and Boarders, There are not many mornings when I just quit after one run, but I attempted to do exactly that this morning. I rode Summit at 8am with a handful of other patrons. The trip down was on firm uneven groomed snow. It was not pleasant. I venture off piste a little…
