4/4 11:00am Update: 13-15″+ and still snowing! Patrol is dropping ropes throughout the day. Twilight Zone, Sorcerer, Lower Wizard, Potter, The Wardrobe, Hallows, Bailout already had ropes dropped. More coming!
6:15am: 7-10″ of snow has fallen and it’s still snowing prior to our 9am special powder opening with the Black Line Quad lift today! Patrol will be out around 8am and starting to see what we can open up, but we will start with about 30 trails–primarily East Side along with Upper Wizard to Talisman on the West Side. As it continues to snow, we should be able to open more terrain but lower angle will be the way to go until there’s enough snow to add some steeps as the day goes on possibly. The snow is relatively light and there was lots of bare ground to cover up so “rock skis” are recommended as there will still be thin cover. Wind continues this morning with temperatures in the upper 20s–some trails may be wind impacted. Kyle is out in the groomer and will do minimal grooming from the summit which should get covered up by fresh snow. Let it snow! We will update as we get closer to opening. There will be no carpet lift today so it is not a day for beginner level skiers and riders. Have fun!
As staffing is limited this time of year, food service will be out of the Black Line Tavern for both Thursday and Friday. Cafeteria should be open for the weekend. SINGO is scheduled for Friday night.
