Mountain Report

February 8, 2010

After a nice quiet morning out on the hill, with beautiful packed powder conditions across all 8 peaks, the well known sound of our snowguns returned to my ears.  Snowmakers went back at it early this afternoon blasting the guns on Rocking Chair as we use some additional snow to reshape the park for the upcoming President’s Week.  Other lucky trails looking to get hit tonight by the best snowmaking system in the East include Tempest and Risky Business with several more slated to be under the gun before the weekend. My trail pick of the day – Monday Mourning and Right Stuff (why choose just one when there are two).

Tonight, our fleet of groomers will take to the hill to smooth out some packed powder corduroy on over 85 trails for you to enjoy tomorrow where we will ski and ride on 100 trails serviced by 10 lifts.  For tomorrow, 9 a.m. will be the time to grab first chair, except for the Little White Cap Quad which will open at 11 a.m., and last chair is at 4 p.m.

For those of you eager for the weekend (and you’re not alone), there are a million things going on next week including the USASA Boardercross and Skiercross Competition, our Bud Light Music series at the Foggy Goggle, kids and family activities thanks to our Black Diamond Entertainment series, and more thanks to President’s Week! Plus, Ski and Stay vacation packages for that week start at $129 and include slopeside lodging, lift tickets for 12-Hour Skiing, and an adult Perfect Turn clinic.

I’m headed back out as these conditions are just too good to resist

 

See ya out there!
