24 HOUR SNOW 0", 72HR TOTAL ~8"

No new snow for 24 hours, and Southerly winds have been steady, gusting to 50mph at the summit. The spring sun came out yesterday, but thankfully temps only climbed to the mid 20's at mid mountain, so there's no need to worry about a crusty morning. Besides, a healthy dose of powder is expected, it all just depends on when these winds shift. The South Winds are sure to have been buffing lots of our upper mountain terrain, perhaps stripping the most exposed aspects. More wintery storm skiing expected, and with heavy snowfall too.

WIND AND TEMPS: Today's temps are expected to range between 3°F at the summit, and 25°F at the base, with mid mountain temps settling into the teens, and winds are expected to shift sometime early this morning, from coming out of the South to coming more out of the West/Northwest, gusting to about 40mph at the summit once again.

Current conditions are whiteout-- almost foggy. Going to make it hard to determine what the wind has done to all of this pow that's been floating around, so keep that in mind as you ski by brail this morning, feeling out the wind drifts underneath your feet. The trees are the best bet for your viz, and they have been holding up amazingly. Sure some of the moguls are big, but the coverage is so great and the lines are so smooth. Pray for a big dump today and keep an eye on those weather stations to see how things are stacking up.

As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.

High Flying clouds, temps topping off at 40°F, we're in for another great day of fast, edge-able groomer skiing on the lower mountain. Doubtful that the South Face has healed up from the crust... Days like these fly by just like the winter season. Keep your skis on edge and you'll fly down the mountain easily. level them out and things might get a little grabby.

Sunny Spring Skiing or cloudy with snow? Hard to say. Temps well below freezing for the last 24 hours, but that sun is out and shining right now. Expected to climb to about 40°F, things could soften up, but right around noon when that would happen, more clouds and snow could roll through. Chance for snow like this the next few days, sun Saturday, and maybe rain on closing day... But I doubt that... The weather cannot make up it's mind right now! Great day for groomers, maybe things off the Tram have gotten a little wind buff.

Another inch over night so some more Dusty Crusty out there today! Hopefully winter stikes back full throttle with more snow today and tonight! Pretty sure North Side is closed and limited lifts for this last week. Get out and savor it while you can!

Temps are still down, but the bluebird is out and sure to warm things up fast down low today. Up high, NW winds prevail gusting to 30mph, keeping temps well below freezing, and wind grooming the epic North Side spring skiing we have been seeing all month. Be ready to shed some layers if you get out there this morning as temps are expected to climb to the mid 40's. Another beautiful day on the mountain practically all to yourself!

4/10/2025 SnoFax Update MELTDOWN

NO NEW SNOW FOR 24 HRS

No new snow to talk about and things are expected to get HOT out there today. Typical spring skiing stuff which is why SnoFax has been slacking. Westerly winds topping 60mph provided awesome wind buffed skiing on the North Summit Yesterday, and down low, things took a while to soften up but soften up they did.

WIND AND TEMPS: Westerly winds are expected to shift more Southerly, bringing temps to 30°F at the summit, and 55°F at the base, by the time we close. Clouds are expected to be rolling through all day long, hopefully keeping the sun from nuking our base. Winds are expected to die down, only gusting to 30mph at the summit.

Another beautiful day with plenty of base to work with! Watchout for long catwalks once again as when temps get well over 40°F, things can get sticky.

As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.

4/6/2025 SnoFax Update SUPER SPRING SKIING

NO NEW SNOW

There's been no new snow for a couple of days now, and temps are going to be very springy out there today. Yesterday things didn't warm up too much, but it is going to be an icy morning out there for sure, as temps have dropped into the mid 20's. Today, strong sun, warm air and little wind are going to add up to warm conditions that will likely become sticky. The ideal window is something like 10:30-1:30 out there if you ask me. The Bowl, and North Facing upper mountain slopes should still provide soft wintery snow and chalky turns.

WIND AND TEMPS: Today's temps are expected to range beteween 25°F at the summit, and 45°F at the base, with mid mountain temps climbing to 40°F. And calm Westerly winds at lower elevations will gust to a max of 30mph at the summit, all under bluebird skies.

Over the last 24 hours, NW winds have been steady at the summit, hopefully keeping our snow cold and recycled up there to prevent a thaw then a freeze, today, temps may get too warm to have that same hope, but you never know. Lots of warm weather this week as it seems the meltdown is beginning. Keep praying for snow!

As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.
