Weather and Ski Conditions

Headline: We are back off the summit today!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

I’d like to continue to thank everyone for your continued patience as we navigate the this warm spring spell, and send my gratitude to the team for working hard to keep our terrain alive. I am excited to share that the grooming team has worked their magic to bring the summit trails back online today, and we will be reopening the Wildcat Express with access down Upper Polecat and Catapult today. There will be some open spots on the trails so ski\ride with care.  Upper Polecat and some other trails are narrow as we look to minimize large snow pushes until after we get past this weeks weather. All this being said, today is going to be an amazing and warm bluebird day, and there will be plenty of spring turns to enjoy!

Today’s weather is downright tropical as we start the day with some inverted temps, that will right size as the sun comes up. Temps are forecasted to quickly rise to a highs of 56 – 62 degrees across mountain elevations. Winds are slated to be mostly calm with some late day breeziness later in the day.

We will be open today from 9am – 4pm with 3 lifts and 20 trails including the Wildcat Express, Snowcat, and Snowbelt lifts. Conditions will be machine groomed loose granular and variable in spots, but overall should be the perfect spring skiing day. At this point we are unable to reopen any natural trails as the snow has mostly rotted down to the base, but we are looking at the future forecast with some hope that we can get back on some of this terrain as we see some snow going into the weekend.

If you haven’t stopped in to grab your Wildcat logo gear at Wildcat Sports this season, now is the time as select apparel is now 30% as we go into latter part of our winter season. The Bobcat Bar will also be open today serving your favorite libations, including my recommendation to check out our new signature hot espresso beverages with both adult & non-adult options. Feeling like your equipment is a bit sticky today? Stop into the friendly and knowledgeable team in our Rental & Tuning shop where you can get a quick hot wax 10 min for $30.

Looking forward to the rest of the month we have a ton of great events coming up such as hosting the 75^th Wildcat Ski Team Sap Run on March 14^th & 15^th, one of the oldest ski races in the state, and a special Wildcat ski day with the Mount Washington Valley Adaptive Sports program on Saturday March 21^st, where new and existing participants can develop their skills on Wildcat’s signature terrain. Finally, we are super excited for the return of the ever popular Spring Fling and Pond Skim on Saturday April 4^th, so start planning your costumes and practice sitting in the back seat to make it across. You may even see myself attempting to part the seas and stay “dry”!

Please know that we are working very hard to make the right decisions to not only preserve the snow pack through this spring weather so we can stay open as late into the season as possible, but also keep you all skiing and riding on as much of the mountain as we can right now. Please stay tuned for further updates very soon, and I greatly appreciate your patience!
