9:30 Conditions Update:Â The grooming team did a great job last night, and the runs are holding up pretty well through the warmer temperatures! There are plenty of soft turns to be had on the upper slopes and near Midway. We’re currently experiencing some light mist, and the forecast suggests a transition to snow this afternoon. Visibility is generally moderate above 6000′ with clearer conditions lower down. Â There’s a lot of mountain to explore this afternoon, so bust out those waterproof layers and head up to join us!
8:00 Conditions Update:Â Temperatures have dropped below freezing in the base area, and we are experiencing some light freezing fog on the lower mountain. Snow conditions are beginning to firm up on the lower slopes. Midway and the upper mountain remain above freezing, allowing for primarily softer snow surfaces.
6:30 Conditions Report: It’s going to be an active weather day on The Ridge as the first round of December storms arrives! Warm overnight temperatures (above freezing from summit to base) are forecast to remain for most of the day, with the high calling for 36 degrees at the summit. This means that we’ll likely enjoy soft, wet snow surfaces – though some firmer and more variable conditions may mix in. Mixed precipitation is possible during the morning, with a transition to snow likely in the afternoon and evening. The forecast is also calling for the chance of increasing winds throughout the day. We’re optimistic about shredding some soft conditions in the morning and potentially ending the day with a little bit of fresh, but please use caution while riding, since conditions will be changing throughout the day.
See you on the mountain!
