Our grooming team has been doing an amazing job working with what little snow they have, however, due to shallow depth limited terrain is groomed. Right now we recommend advanced skiers/riders only at Silver Fir since the only trails available are black diamond and the trail back to Golden Nugget is more challenging than normal due to conditions. If you venture over to Silver Fir, just be extra cautious as the terrain and conditions are more challenging than you might be familiar with.

Silver Fir: The last several days the Black Diamond trails off the top have been closed to start the day due to refrozen snow and extremely challenging conditions, I expect the same today and the team will continually evaluate as the snow softens. Then remember, all it takes is one or two storms to completely change everything. While conditions are firm and not as dreamy as we might want for January, a day on the mountain is better than the alternative! Come on up and work on your technique, enjoy some laughs and stories on the lift with friends, take your time wandering the mountain and make the most of it. Remember to give your fellow skiers and riders plenty of space to navigate. I've been continuing to find good turns under the lift at Silver Fir, skier's right side of Sunrise near the trees where it's groomed, skier's right of Dodge Ridge, and even though Julies is closed today the skier's left side of that chair has good turns/coverage as well. Tip - slow down prior to these steeper or 'scraped off' areas and you won't have to deal with as much of the harshness of those icy areas. That's also where snow depth tends to be the most shallow. You'll find those icier spots where people tend to hit the brakes or make tighter turns, often in steeper sections or just over knolls. Out on the mountain you're going to find variable conditions, a mix of loose granular snow, refrozen granular snow, hard pack, and some icier areas where the surface snow has been scraped off repeatedly. There's not quite an inch of new snow on the surface so far, so the primary snow conditions are still the same as the last few days, just with the added bonus of snow coming down. there's more on the way! Okay, but back to today. Good afternoon my fellow snow riders! The first signs of a weather pattern shift just showed up and it's finally snowing again! If you haven't checked out the forecast for Friday and the weekend yet, take a look.
