TRACE OF NEW SNOW IN 48 HRS

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!

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!

NO NEW SNOW FOR 24 HOURS

No new snow to talk about in the last 24 hours, but there's sure to be plenty of soft turns remaining on the upper mountain, especially on the East and North Facing aspects. Yesterday, the sun began poking through quite early and while air temps topped at 20°F at mid mountain, the sun was starting to make all of this light fluffy powder a bit heavier. The North Side mid mountain trees are your best bet for soft turns without having to hit the steeps. 

WIND AND TEMPS: Today's temps are expected to range between 18°F at the summit, and 39°F at the base, with mid mountain temps climbing to about 30°F. Winds are expected to remain fairly calm, gusting to 20mph at the summit, and shifting more Westerly, bringing in some of this warmer air. 

Overnight, NW winds were steady, gusting to 30mph. These gales are sure to have windbuffed the Bowl, and other upper mountain terrain recycling and smoothing out the chop. A week of warm springy skiing ahead of us, so I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the cold weather skiing while it lasted. Still have high hopes of some more surprise April dumps, but for the forseeable future we are skiing slush.
