Weather and Ski Conditions

Wednesday January 21^st  – 6:40 am

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

If you haven’t had a chance to come up to Wildcat recently, then you are missing out as conditions are at their best of the season right now. Although it may be a bit brisk out, this is honestly what’s keeping the skiing and riding so good! I’m also excited to share that we will be opening crowd favorite Middle & Lower Lynx today, bringing another top-to-bottom route online for the season. I took a tour through this yesterday, and the team absolutely crushed it. You won’t be disappointed!

Today we are expecting a mix of sun and clouds with temps starting below zero, topping out in them mid-teens while southwest winds will gust into the 20’s. Wind chills will be in the negatives to start the day before the warmer temps arrive later in the day, so be prepared with layers and take frequent breaks.

We will be open today from 9am – 4pm with 3 lifts including the Wildcat Express, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. You can expect powder & packed powder conditions on 24 trails with a little bit of fresh snow still to be found on the side of some trails and on our natural terrain. As a reminder, this week we begin our regular schedule for the Bobcat lift, operating Thursday through Mondays.

Don’t forget our newly launched weekday Wildcat Pub promos, and today is Warm Up Wednesdays where you can get a draft and Pub favorite for $25.00. So after some primo laps on the hill, come in a enjoy a great lunch or apres snack with our friendly Pub team.

PLEASE NOTE – This weekend 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!

There’s no time like now to come and see for yourself the Wildcat difference and what makes the vibe at our mountain so special, and we’ll see you out there!

Snow Surfaces Update

We are sticking a fork in Lower Catapult, and the teams are hard at work shifting our equipment over to Alley Cat. I know there’s a ton of excitement out there from both our guests and our local team to get this open this year. From there we will shift to Black Cat & Middle Catapult before we head into Operation Spring Ski, bulking up key terrain across the hill to take us well into April.

As we continue to get many questions around our terrain progression, I wanted to share this news coverage from Fox Weather where they interviewed the MW Weather Observatory around wind conditions experienced in December. The short of it is that we tied for the 16^th windiest & coldest December on record, and although it was cold the extreme winds have a direct correlation to our ability to make snow effectively and not just in the woods. With water being our most important resource we need to be smart and strategic when and where we are making it, so just know we are taking advantage of every moment and do not hold back!

Uphill Access – OPEN

We have officially opening our uphill access 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.
