Weather and Ski Conditions

Headline: Let it Snow & Let the Sap Run!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Winter is making a comeback this weekend and it will be looking like a snow globe out there today as we picked up 3 - 4 inches of new snow on the hill! Couple that with the full tilt rebuild efforts from our grooming team and we should have some great turns all day. We will be reopening off the summit this morning and expect to be skiing off of most of our snowmaking terrain while our natural trails just won’t have enough to come back yet. We’d like to welcome racers from all over the northeast today for the 75^th Wildcat Ski Team Sap Run taking place on Cheetah this weekend, believed to be one of the oldest continuous ski races in the state.

We are expecting brief pops of sun through the clouds today as scattered snow showers move through the area with the potential of picking up another couple of inches. Temps are forecasted to start out in the upper to teens to low 20’s, topping out at 30 – 37 degrees across mountain elevations. We are expecting to see breeziness pick up as the day progresses; however forecasts currently show them picking up late enough where we are not anticipating lift impacts. As I always say though, we will make the every effort to keep lifts running as long and safely as possible.

We will be open today from 8:30am – 4pm with 4 lifts and at least 14 trails including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat , Snowcat, and Snowbelt lifts. We are awaiting some final confirmations from our groomers on completed terrain so there is a chance this count may go up. Conditions will be machine groomed packed powder / frozen granular and potential variable spots. Please keep in mind that although we picked up a few inches of new snow that may make certain terrain look more skiable, please be mindful that we did lose a great deal of snow this week. All this to say, please respect closures as they are there for your safety!

We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone back for a great weekend with our signature après in the Wildcat Pub with Melo Green on Saturday and Dan Parkhurst on Sunday. Couple that with our awesome pub menu and top notch service, and it’s the perfect place to refuel before heading back out on the slopes.

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. I also received word from one our Guest Services Leaders Taylor that we have some new buttons available at the front desk so grab your limited edition pins to add to your collection!

Its never too late to learn how to ski and ride, and we still have availability in our Ski & Ride School and Kitten Club play care for this weekend, so book now! Walk-ins are also welcome. Take advantage of our advanced pricing on all lift tickets, lessons, and rentals online at www.skiwildcat.com for the best deal, and maybe treat your friends to your Epic Friends tickets if you are a passholder. Space is still available

We are still going strong here at Wildcat as we are no strangers to resiliency. We still have plenty of great skiing and riding ahead of us and ask everyone to do you best to appease Ullr, hopefully bring more snow and cold weather to help us out. We look forward to seeing you out there!
