Weather and Ski Conditions

Friday, March 6^th  – 7:15 AM

Headline: Winter says, hey I’m still here!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Winter raised its hand and said I’m still here today as we received a fresh 1 – 2 inches of snow as cooler temps return for the day, which should make for some great mid-winter skiing & riding. Don’t forget that today is our last Passholder First Tracks of the season with lifts opening at 8:30am, fresh donuts, and the always popular Helly Hansen Prize Wheel, all our way of saying thank you for your loyalty! The weekend looks to warm up with a chance of a small amount of wet precipitation Saturday morning, while Sunday looks to be on point with clearing skies and warmer temps. Don’t let the forecast spook you as it should be a great weekend of skiing & riding!

Today’s weather will remain cloudy throughout the day with temperatures not budging a whole lot as we should see only a few degrees of warming from what we experience in the morning. Temps will be topping out at 24 – 29 degrees across mountain elevations, while winds are expected to will remain relatively calm.  

Today we are open from 9:00am – 4pm with 3 lifts for normal public operations, including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snowcat, and Snow Belt. The grooming team focused on rebuilding our core snowmaking terrain last night while also mixing in some of this new snow, and you can expect packed powder machine groomed conditions on 21 trails while our 21 natural trails will be packed powder/variable. With some of this rebuild work, the closure of Middle and Lower Lynx today as the team works through getting that trail ready for the upcoming warmer weather. Stay tuned for on our Lift & Terrain Status page for the latest updates.

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.

Looking forward to the rest of the month, we have some great après and events such as our signature Wildcat Apres with live music every Saturday with Scott Baer playing tomorrow from 1pm – 4pm, as well 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. We will also be hosting 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”!

There is still a lot of winter season ahead of us and this is the time of the year where it gets really good at Wildcat. Yes, we have some interesting weather ahead of us, but the mountain is looking great and we look forward to keeping us skiing and riding as long as possible this year. We really appreciate the great feedback we have been receiving from so many of you that have come to enjoy Wildcat, and hope to you see you all again real soon!

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!
