TRACE TO AN INCH OF NEW SNOW SINCE LIFTS CLOSED
Just at trace to an inch of new snow has blown in since the lifts closed yesterday, and SW winds have continued ripping. Hitting 75mph last night at the summit, these gales are transforming the mountain. Expected to keep gusting around 40-50mph at the summit all day, be prepared for some possible wind holds. Thankfully, this wind has made for some great wind buffed skiing off of the Tram. Make sure your self arrest skills are in order in the event of a snow snake, but there's nothing like skiing a groomer that starts at 11,000 feet. Down low, this dusting should make for a nice little refresh on our moguls and groomers, but don't expect it to take away any of the crust underneath. If you're looking for soft turns, head over to Moonlight.
WIND AND TEMPS: Temps today should range between 16°F and 36°F with mid mountain temps in the 20's, and winds are expected to continue out of the SW, gusting to 50mph at the summit, and 30mph at mid mountain. All under sunny skies this morning, with more high flying clouds rolling in around noon.
Just a little bit of snow expected tomorrow, then lots of sun through the rest of this week. It's burnout time of the year in Big Sky, we've already been skiing for along time, and there's a lot of skiing left to be had. Not quite spring skiing yet, but not the fantastic powder skiing we've been having. Expect things to be pretty calm out there until we get hit with spring breakers. There's sure to be more pow, and plenty of great spring skiing. Right now, with temps and conditions like these, it's prime time to ski as much vert as possible.
As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.
