6:15am snow total: 9" of fresh snow, stay tuned around 8am for our 24hr snow total!
This recent storm delivered 36 inches (over 3 feet!) of new snow in just 24 hours yesterday and 64" (5 feet) in 72 hours.
While access to the mountain was temporarily not possible, some of our team members who hunkered down at the resort on Tuesday night have been hard at work continuing storm recovery efforts today - digging out lifts, conducting avalanche mitigation, locating and rebuilding fence lines, grooming, and clearing critical areas across the mountain.
Check out our social media for some snaps taken by our team on site, capturing their hard work conducting storm recovery and preparing the mountain to reopen. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff who stayed on site and put in long hours to make tomorrow’s reopening possible. Their commitment, teamwork, and focus on safety are what keep this mountain moving.
We know everyone is excited for this incredible refresh and the good news keeps coming. Forecasts are calling for an additional 11 to 17 inches of new snow today.
With continued snowfall, please be aware there is potential for delays, staggered lift openings, and impacts to operations as our teams work to safely open terrain throughout the day.
As always, please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and check road conditions before heading up. Continue to check for updates on our Conditions & Updates page and travel safely.
