Weather and Ski Conditions

Wednesday February 11^th – 6:30 AM

Headline: Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Its been a couple of weeks since our last snowfall and it’s nice to see the snow return with 4-5 inches of accumulation across the mountain overnight. This is just the right amount, and the right consistency of snow, to help pad our natural terrain back up and it should be awesome out there! Couple that with a morning mix of sun and clouds and highs in the upper 20’s, and you have yourself a day. Winds will be breezy out of NW with gusts in the 20’s, but nothing that is expected to impact lift operations.

Today we will be operating from 9:00 am – 4pm with 3 lifts, including the Wildcat Express, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. The groomers were out through the snowfall last night and you can expect a mix of groomed surfaces with fresh corduroy, while other trails will have a few inches on top of the groom, such as Lynx top to bottom. 18 trails were groomed overnight, and we will start the day with 25 natural trails which could increase as patrol assess terrain That’s 89% of our trail count and acreage open! We should be getting pretty close to 100% of terrain going into the holiday weekend, so stay tuned to the Lift & Trail Status page or the My Epic App for the latest trail openings.

Its Warm Up Wednesdays today in the Wildcat Pub, and that gets you a draft and any Pub favorite for $25.00. Couple that with your favorite Olympic events airing in the on the TV’s, and it’s the perfect spot to take a break from enjoying some epic turns.

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!
