Weather and Ski Conditions

 Saturday, March 21^st – 6:50 am UPDATE

Headline: “The Surface Out Here is Incredible”

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Both winter and the mountain are pulling their best Monte Python “I’m not quite dead yet” meme as we picked up a healthy 3 - 4 inches of snow on the mountain overnight, The Wildcat Express is back from its quick temper tantrum giving us top to bottom skiing, and our grooming team continues their heroic work bringing nearly 100% of our snowmaking terrain back online and groomed including all of Lynx, which is our Groomers Choice of the Day! There is even a chance that Upper Catapult could make a return today, so stay tuned. Coming directly from our Wildcat Snow Surfaces Leaders Josh Neil, “The surface out here is incredible. The morning crowd is in for a real treat.”

Looking at today’s weather, morning clouds should give way to some beautiful afternoon sunshine, allowing for temps to warm up to a high of 28 – 38 degrees across mountain elevations. This clearing will bring with it some winds, but as long as current forecasts hold, we shouldn’t see impacts to lifts. Looking ahead to tomorrow, it’s worth noting that a POWDER DAY ALERT is now in effect for tomorrow as we expect to pick up another 6-8 inches through the day with a potential storm total of nearly a foot after it wraps up on Monday night.  

We will be open today from 8:30 am – 4pm with 4 lifts and 8 trails including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snowcat, and Snowbelt lifts. Conditions will be powder/packed powder machine groomed conditions to start the day, and please be aware that variable spots and choke points still exist. This new snow will cover up very thin spots on trail edges so please ski & ride with care!

Today is going to be an awesome community day as we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the Mount Washington Valley Adaptive Sports program for a Wildcat ski day! This is a great opportunity for new and existing participants to develop their skills on Wildcat’s signature terrain, as well as for everyone to learn more about this important organization and how you can get involved as a donor or a volunteer! We also have our signature après scene in the Wildcat Pub on today with Mitch Alden playing from 1 – 4pm.

Back by popular demand are our famous Wildcat Trail pins, and other free limited-edition pins, while supplies last, so stop by guest services to ask for your favorite trail! 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% as we go into latter part of our winter season.

Last but certainly not least, our Ski & Ride School and Nursery are in full swing on the best learning terrain in the Valley as we have all of our beginner terrain fully open. We still have spaces available for all ages and walk-in’s are always welcome.

While March has thrown us a few curve balls to day, winter is not over and neither are we with plenty of good turns and strong vibes ahead of us as we have our eyes set to April! A day on the slopes is still better than a day at home so come up and allow our team to provide our signature Wildcat hospitality! We’ll see you out there!
