10:50 update: It is snowing for the last day on the slopes! Get up for fresh on groomed fun for all. Groomers reporting in this Sunday morning at 5am with a trace of new snow and high clouds. Temperature cooled and they have been busy laying out corduroy for this last day of fun on the slopes. Yesterday graupel fell off and on through the day with sun showing up at the end of the day while overnight there has been no accumulation. Radar indicates snow may be on the way before the end of the day. Crystal lift remains closed with plenty of upper mountain groomed and great to go.

8:30 update: clouds moved in, visibility 200 yds, wind from the south 5-10mph, graupel. Groomers reporting this morning at 5 am with a half an inch of new snow. That snow fell before they came on at midnight and after everyone else had left for the day. Temperature has fallen to a more normal seasonal level and there is a moisture laden system working its way from the Pacific bringing chance of snow tonight. With the best skiing at the top of the mountain the lower has been closed and Crystal is not open. Groomers have laid out plenty of corduroy and it is going to be really nice riding. Come up and enjoy this last weekend of the season.

Friday April 5th

Posted on: April 5th, 2013 by Peg

8:20 update: The skies have partially cleared with a little bit of blue overhead. Being that the best skiing will be on top we’ve decided to close the lower mountain for today including the Crystal Lift. The upper half of Thunderhead and the Olympic chair will be good skiing. The forcast is for snow in the mountains tonight. Maybe we can finish up the season with a little powder. The groomers reporting in this Friday morning with light rain and snow thru the night. The upper mountain groomed out nice and should ski well. We may have to have some lower mountain closures that we will update you with when the patrol gets out on the mountain. The best skiing will be on the top half. Sunday April 7th will be our last day.

March 30 Fun Race

Posted on: March 30th, 2013 by Peg

Groomers reporting at 5 am this morning with a trace of new snow. Again in the afternoon there was a period of time where snow fell while surface temps were above freezing, from big flakes to graupel right through sunshine. Today the air is drier and we should see rapidly warming temperatures, spring conditions and sunshine. Groomers have laid out corduroy and slopes will soften quickly. The Blacktail Mountain Ski Education Foundation is putting on a GS Race today on Emmons Ridge to benefit the race team, lots of divisions with medals & prizes for each, only $5 per racer, race starts at 10:30.

9:30 update: Patrol reporting in with groomers skiing great top to bottom. Firm pack softening up with quickly warming temps. Little breeze on top 0-4 from the south and high clouds. Groomers reporting in this morning under partly cloudy skies with light flurries. Yesterday afternoon snow formed in clouds above where it was below freezing and fell in big flakes for several hours and by closing the sun was out again. For two days we have had this happen with surface temp above freezing, it is really pretty, a little wet and fun to ride on. Today there’s a chance we may see the same with temps spring like. Snow has set up over night and will soften quickly with the groomers the best place to start your day. Buy your Season Pass for 2013-2014 and use it for the rest of this season.
