No local intel and by no means a slides expert so definitely take this with a grain of salt, but just based upon how the slides looked from the lift yesterday I'd be surprised if they are open any time soon. In terms of conditions, I was there the last 3 days. Lower half of the mountain Wed./Thurs with the kids, and then the rest of the mountain for a 1/2 day yesterday. Lower mountain was all in really good condition. The upper mountain was on wind hold the first couple hours yesterday and I had to be off the mountain by 12:30 so couldn't get in as many runs off the upper parts of the mountain as I wanted and so don't have as much info on the runs off the summit or LWF. We did one run off the summit with skyward to lower skyward and it was fun, but pretty firm / frozen at the time we hit it. Apparently Parons was better, but we didn't ski it. On Lookout, Hoyts and Lookout Below were both closed when we were there, but Wilmington Trail skid really well, especially the lower 2/3 of the trail. Mountain run was also really fun, as were the runs off Approach. Overall, conditions were really good, but higher up just a bit more variable. It was very cold and windy yesterday, and I think Sunday and Monday things will soften up a bit and you should be in for some even better conditions.
