The report said two inches, which is probably accurate. It is a bit hard to tell given that the wind was moving snow around, creating both drifts and wind swept areas. It did snow lightly all day long, and is still snowing now. Overall, the conditions were a bit better than yesterday. I had...

Pretty good conditions today. Probably 1 inch, no real snow during the day but probably another inch or two in town after 4pm. Everything just a bit better than yesterday. I think I was the first person down blazers bluff, patrol included. It was actually pretty good, and when skiied later in...

Hah! Hopefully it works this time!

Yes, definitely. Similar to yesterday, but everything was a bit faster. Moguls were smoother (less cookies), but harder and quicker in between. Skiers left on skyward after the steep part had a nice section. An inch or two and the mountain will ski significantly better.

Another fun day. My daughter and I went up expecting to do a couple hours of groomers, but much to my surprise Empire and Upper Mackenzie were both open. In short , groomed stuff was really good, ungroomed was more variable but still in play and fun to ski. upper empire was much softer than I...

Great day! First time Empire has been open in my roughly 20 trips to WF. Worth the wait, some rocks in spots, but I love the steep, narrow soft bumps. Upper Mackenzie also really great ungroomed run. I don’t know the name but the woods to skiers left right before lower Mack were awesome...

Conditions pretty good so far. Upper Mackenzie really good,..thin cover though. Empire was closed when we passed, hopefully it opens later. Groomed trails mostly excellent packed powder. Wilmington trail more of what you expect from an east coast groomer, but still fun. Low crowds. ski on at...

Having never skied them, where do the sugar valley glades exit? From the trail map it looks like flying squirrel at bear den.

Sounds awesome!!

Cold, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Absolutely beautiful views from the summit. Crowded, regarding both lift lines and trails. A lot of people skiing faster than appropriate for their ability level. More people than on previous trips doing a poor job of adhering to mask rules...

Hmm, given the lack of conditions reports I surmise that it wasn’t crowded and the lift line were short. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Did anyone ski WF today? I thought about it, but the website said the lifts were on hold again in the morning. Bummer of a weekend, especially if you had pre-purchased day tickets.

There was a very long line at facelift and no upper lifts were open, so we left after two runs. Much too cold to wait around outside for the potential of lifts opening. If not for COVID I probably would hang out in the lodge and wait, but as it stands we are hitting up the xc trails.

I just read that link, I don’t believe it mentioned if the skier was wearing a helmet or not. Regardless, what a tragedy. I really feel for that young man‘s family.

Today, we started to do skyward, but we quickly noped out of there after we could barely see our skis due to the wind and snowmaking. The wind definitely moved the snow around, as well as making it significantly colder. There were very few people skiing, and it felt like we had the mountain to...

Regarding masks, I use the masks from ”ski the east” and I don’t fog unless I am breathing extremely heavily. Everyone’s face is a little different, and what works for me might not for you, but FWIW no one in my family has complained about fogging. It was very difficult to see on Saturday. The...

Really nice today. Maybe another couple inches. Windier today, but not enough to impact lift ops. Skyward was good, a little sketchy at top, but super soft after the start. Trails off LWF all good. More people, but not really crowded.

Best day of the year for me. Snowed all day, and the snow was definitely heavy. It’s hard to give a total, there were around 3 inches on my car when we left but I am pretty certain the total was closer to five or six while we were skiing (in addition to the three overnight). skyward was not...

Probably three inches of heavy snow at the base. Absolutely nuking at the moment. A little windy on the drive over so that may cause some problems.

Much better day than yesterday. The blue run off the summit was in good shape. There was a good, albeit short, bump line on Victoria. Run off the day was whatever trail is skier’s right of mountain run. it was under the snow guns with nice piles and ridges. most lift lines were pretty short and...
