Weather and Ski Conditions

Thursday, April 2^nd – 6:50 am

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Today we are seeing a return of cooler temperatures and our teams are taking full advantage to rebuild our core terrain, which is still holding on despite what mother nature’s throwing at us. Due to the amount of rebuilding needed, the grooming team focused all of their effort on the lower mountain terrain last night to get those trails back to where we want them so we could provide some variety of terrain over just length. With that we will plan again today to ski & ride on the lower mountain today with access off the Bobcat & Snowcat lifts, and we will have grooming in both during the day today and tonight so that we can return to skiing off the summit tomorrow. Lower Mountain should ski really well today so come on out to enjoy the view and some good turns!

For our weather today, skies will remain mostly cloudy with temps topping out at 31 – 37 degrees across mountain elevations, which will allow for conditions to soften up as the day goes on. Winds will remain lighter today waiting to pick back up until the next system moves in overnight.

We will be open today from 9am – 4pm with 2 lifts and 8 trails including the Bobcat and Snowcat lifts. With our grooming team focusing on this terrain, the surface should be skiing well today with frozen granular conditions. NOTE – Please do not hike into upper mountain terrain today as we will have a groomer working on core terrain throughout the day.

The guest services team have been hard at work creating another batch of our famous FREE Wildcat Trail pins and other creative limited-edition pins, so grab them while supplies last at the Guest Services Desk in the Main Lodge! And 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%, so stop in before all the good stuff is gone!

Looking towards the weekend we are leaning full tilt into our spring conditions so break out the sunscreen and sunglasses and wear your best tropical gear for our Spring Fling on Saturday, and if you need some extra island flair, we will have plenty of leighs and other beach party items available near the Guest Service Desk. We will have music rocking all day with a DJ playing out on the deck from 10am – 1pm, where we will be holding a costume contest for a chance to win a pair of Oakley Goggles. From 1pm to 4pm we will have Candie Trembly returning to the Wildcat Pubs stage to carry on the fun for the remainder of the day as well as Sun Cruiser promo with your chance to sample and grab some swag! Stop by guest services to grab your beach party items.

The fun continues on Easter Sunday with the always popular Egg Hunt where we will have treats hidden around the mountain including two Golden Eggs! Find one to receive a Helly Hansen prize back including a $200 gift code and other signature Wildcat swag. Current Epic Pass Holders who are skiing and riding at Wildcat this weekend (Friday-Sunday), also stop in at Guest Services to be entered to win Helly Hansen giveaways!

We are working hard to keep you, our Wildcat faithful skiing and riding as long as possible, and will continue to do what we can to keep it going out there. Come on out and enjoy some spring turns with us, and we’ll see you out there!
