Weather and Ski Conditions

Monday February 2^nd – 6:00 AM

Headline: Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, 6 more weeks of WINTER!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Well its that time of the year again, Groundhog Day, and what better way to usher in 6 (or more) weeks of winter than by going out and skiing your favorite Wildcat run again, and again, and again, and again…

In all honesty its shaping up to be a beautiful week ahead of us with much warmer temps than we’ve been experiencing lately, and a lot of Vitamin D. Today looks to be a bluebird day with highs in the upper teens and winds out of the NW with some breeziness today.

Today we will be operating from 9 am – 4pm with 4 lifts including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. Conditions are still phenomenal out there and yo can expect machine groomed packed powder conditions on 18 trails, while 23 natural trails are open with some powder and variable conditions. With 85% of our trail count and acreage open, including all of our beginner terrain, there is something for everyone out there!

With everyone enjoying the recent snowfall, plus some breezy conditions blowing snow off key pitches, we have had to temporarily close some natural terrain such as Ocelot Way, Lift Lion, Top Cat, and Star Line. Hairball and Sphynx just don’t quite have enough just yet to safely ski. Please respect closures on these trails.

As always, there’s no better place to take a break than in our lodge at the Café, Bobcat Bar, or Wildcat Pub, offering a plethora of options to warm up with between runs. The Pub offers daily specials, while the Bobcat Bar is great place to grab a hot or cold adult beverage and Lavazza espresso drinks. The Café has all of your favorite comfort foods including one of my favorites, the Swiss and caramelized onion grilled cheese!

Today’s Monday Pub Special is for Mug Club members who can get a draft and any appetizer for $20!

It is full-on mid-winter here at Wildcat, so don’t miss out. We’ll see you on the slopes!

Snow Surfaces Update – 2/2

The snowmaking team will be waiting to get back into this week working towards Operation Spring Ski, bulking up Middle Wildcat & Bobcat to take us well into April. As time allows we will then shift over to Middle Catapult and Black Cat as we begin to wind down on snowmaking operations for the year.

Uphill Access – OPEN

Uphill access is OPEN for the season on the designated route of Polecat Trail from 4:30pm – 8am. Please reference our Uphill Policy here for more information, and please keep in mind that uphill access is not allowed during operational hours.

Out of Bounds Access ALERT

Recently our Patrol team was called to assist a couple groups of guests find their way out of side country terrain that is accessible from our trail network. These areas are beyond our resort boundary, for experts only, unmarked, and unpatrolled. If you are unfamiliar with this area it’s best to wait until we see a better snowpack and go with someone that has familiarity with this terrain. Thank you!
