Good morning! We’re looking forward to another exciting day on the mountain as the next storm finally arrives. We expect a cloudy day with a high of 36° and an increasing chance of snow starting around 30% in the morning and strengthening to about 60% by the evening. Flurries are likely, but we expect little daytime accumulation - models show the brunt of the storm should start around 5 PM and continue through the night. The total possible accumulation is only around an inch or two, so we hope the storm surprises us!

You have 37 trails to explore today, including 18 freshly groomed runs to carve your edges into. If you’re looking for top-to-bottom skiing, Needles Gondola offers several paths to keep your legs burning while you take in stunning mountain views. For shorter laps, check out Wildcat Express for mid-mountain access and some of our favorite groomed runs. Some mountain favorites like 119 and Centennial are open for business, but be aware of low tide conditions and look out for unmarked hazards while you ride.

It’s only a few more days until Christmas so you only have a few more days to catch Santa out on the mountain and tell him about the new gear you hope to see under the tree. Feel free to say hello and snag a picture - he’s excited to see everyone!

All guests must use access gates regardless of website status.

Failure to use access gates may result in loss of pass privileges.
