IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SUNDAY!​

Please take note of this very IMPORTANT UPDATE: Our region is experiencing an area-wide fiber service outage. We are not able to process in-person sales during this outage. Be sure to reload all of your frequent skier tickets online, and buy rentals and lessons from our webstore too. Crews are working to resolve the issue, however an ETA for completion has not yet been provided. Sorry season passholders, your bonus ticket to share cannot be redeemed while our system connection is down. CASH ONLY FOOD SERVICE SUNDAY at all Base Area dining locations. The Saddle Lodge is currently open for shelter and restrooms only. Once this service is restored we can continue business as usual. Please check our online snow report or give us a call for the most current information. We love snow and will always welcome powder days, despite the issues that sometimes tag along. We appreciate your understanding.

"The Saddle Lodge is currently open for shelter and restrooms only."
So the Saddle Lodge going cashless is not paying off. WTF.

They really need to stop doing that.

I agree 100%. Unless your definitely opening it. Don't hype it.

I lost my phone today, which complicated things. But I found it and that was very good.

Cooler heads prevailed, and I found a parking spot pretty easy, even thought I was late.

My brand new all seasons did the job, allowing me to make my own spot blasting through some plow snow.

I was not happy to see zero snowmaking today

The powder king has spoken.

Unfortunately I wasn't all that impressed with today. Maybe I'm just spoiled having been in Utah. Between the parking issues, lift lines, and delayed terrain openings, it was somewhat of a "meh" day. I'm still glad I didn't turn around when I was stuck in the dreaded "red snake" on the access road. It was definitely worth skiing today, just not as enjoyable as I'd expect a day after a 2 foot storm to be.

Happy Snow Day!​

• The fiberline issue in the area has been resolved. Transactions should run as usual.

I think if it was 5% snow (what does wasatch snow average?) or even normal EC powder versus the cement we got, you'd forget about all the ops issues.

Once you get that taste it’s over. Hard to look at eastern skiing the same. You are young and single. Go west , the east coast will always be here.

This is true for many, but not all.

Amazing day minus the multiple disasters with the lots and getting Straight Brook open.

I heard an all time BS reason for why it took so long to open Straightbrook. Patrol told folks waiting in line there was an avalanche risk on Hawkeye and was why they couldn't open it and needed to "pack it down" by skiing it multiple (6) times and it was unsafe. Chatemac too. We thought it was in jest but they were dead serious.

So they going to require a beacon, probe, and shovel to ski it from now on after a dump? Of all the reasons I have heard for delaying opening something this is by far the most ridiculous ever. They do know that people actually think and can reason neither trail is that steep to have a full on avalanche and if it did it would go maybe, I don't know, 100 yards

I remember the same issue last year when they were dropping the ropes on Chatiemac and Hawkeye for the first time of the season, we waited for a good 20-30 min watching patrol ski down over and over before getting on. It was worth it though!
