Our final day as the white stripes along the snowfarm will melt away in these temps. 62" snowfall with 55 skiable days and only 16 days with the entire mountain open....our lowest numbers to report since '79. Happy Spring and until we meet again enjoy the great outdoors. A Purification by Wendell Berry At start of spring I open a trench in the ground. I put into it the winter's accumulation of paper, pages I do not want to read again, useless words, fragments, errors. And I put into it the contents of the outhouse: light of the sun, growth of the ground, finished with one of their journeys. To the sky, to the wind, then, and to the faithful trees, I confess my sins: that I have not been happy enough, considering my good luck; have listened to too much noise; have been inattentive to wonders; have lusted after praise. And then upon the gathered refuse of mind and body, I close the trench, folding shut again the dark, the deathless earth. Beneath that seal the old escapes into the new.

Skiing above 4000 feet has its extended season. 5" snow in Little Antarctica. Favorite trails best friends fantastic times. WG is open today with snowfarm and upper mountain trails. Not for long! Happy Spring!

Skiable day #53 tomorrow, the same year I was born. The lowest snowfalls ever yet we are making the best of everything as always. Open daily with the snowfarm and upper trails as the ice melts mid day. Lots of rain forecasted will wash all this away and so we are busy bees for now.

Snowfarm regroomed every morning where we are flying along fast granular snow in cold temps. Plan to stay open this week until it all melts. Reopen for any new blizzards. Cheers!

Final weekend perhaps, shoveling a few spots along the 2.5 mile snowfarm where wind and grooming come together to provide 285 feet of continuous vertical skiing today. New snows forecasted could quickly coat the icy base and provide some fluffier conditions. Skiable day 50 today in a 62" annual snowfall so far. Ain't over until it's over! Enjoy!

Enjoying every moment in these conditions, half the mountain open this St. Patty morning, some rain and then snow forecasted. Keep an eye on the trail reports as we approach 50 skiable days tomorrow. Thank you Ullr!

Challenging to find skiable snow as the insult of spring weather continues. Snowfarm and highest elevations within the north facing spruce zone provides relief.

Snowfarm super fun with our new Rosie PB 100 snowcat and lots of hard work bringing in snow. Full weekend ahead as it warms for Sat/Sun. Picture here of 3 mile this eve after a very long Groundhog's Day ski in the Dolly Sods and White Grass. Hope we all get out there and enjoy every flake.

Making the most of the least these days, the north faces are covered with up to 4" yet there is the wind drifted Snow Farm covered in deep drifts for lessons, demos, clinics, and in general nice groomed skiing. Hold in there as the winter ain't over yet the outlook doesn't spell well for snow. Ski with your old rock skis and make the best of it.

Opening up the snowfarm where it has drifted and rolling the thin drifts that are forming in these breezes. Skiable day 20, 3" new snow, 25" so far this season. Better than last year at this time. Tricky to determine the skiing quality until we send out scouts and guinea pigs.

Frost and snow so wintery yet not enough to ski but how beautiful the landscape is this time of the year. Happy New Year and will post snowy pictures as soon as Ullr passes through again. 22" winter snowfall and 19 skiable days a lot better than last season.

Happy Holidays as wintery weather and forecasts have us waxing our skis. Ice and sleet has knocked down a lot of wood and also prepped the mountain for more snow. Looking forward to a winter of skiing and the many visitors that will enjoy our favorite sport.

Old skis love these conditions, thin snow all over the north face yet too crazy for most. Heading up to Baldy and back this morning on about 2 or 3 inches packed converted warmed up and frozen again snow. Picture here last eve on the snow farm where we let wind and nature do her thing. Deer tracks welcomed, had some hunters stop and watch me and the dogs circle around the fields in disbelief. Don't shoot!

A fast moving snow squall and light flurries for days has opened skiing for staff, locals with rock skis, friends that sign 100 waivers, and just nutty people. 3"5" over terra firma. Drifting has been taken advantage of and we rolled most of the snowfarm. Still far from perfect and we still have the CLOSED sign at the corner. Cheers on an early start to winter. Timberline opens Wednesday as snowmaking temps are to be taken full advantage of.
