12/26 Night Conditions Report

4pm Night Conditions Report: After an epic 24 hour period in which we received 11 inches of new snow (with a bit more forecasted tonight), we’re once again open for night skiing till 9pm tonight! It’s a beautiful evening, with a bit of golden light striking the valley below before the sun dips below the horizon imminently. We can expect a lull in the snow for the next several hours before it picks up again around 10pm, so we’ve got a perfect window of higher visibility to enjoy some nighttime shredding. Conditions are soft and creamy as the new snow has been tracked and packed throughout the day. Please be aware that significant bumps have formed in some areas, even on the runs that were groomed last night.

See you on the mountain!
