Weather and Ski Conditions

Headline: Community Appreciation

8:45a - 2/9/26  Snow Cat, Bob Cat chairs, and Snow Belt are operating.  All other lift are on wind hold.  There are 16 lower mountain trails open from the lower lifts.  Lift maintenance is monitoring the wind.

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Well today will be a good day to come and take your frustrations (or your excitement) out on the slopes after last night’s game, depending on who you were rooting for. The upside is we are expecting a beautiful bluebird day that will bring ambient temperatures back into the teens with highs at 10 – 15 degrees across mountain elevations, while some pesky winds will continue to keep it brisk. But as we say, cool temps = awesome snow, and tomorrow we are expecting to see a big rebound of temps with less wind.

There is the chance for wind impacts today, so it will be important to keep an eye on the My Epic App and the Lift & Trail Status page on our website for the most up to date information. Given the improvement in temps today, if the Wildcat Express is on hold due to wind today, and the Tomcat is favorable, we would shift staff to operate that lift for upper mountain access.

Today we will be operating from 9:00 am – 4pm with 4 lifts, weather permitting, including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. Snow conditions continue to remain consistently good with machine groomed packed powder conditions on 19 trails, while 25 natural trails are open with some powder and variable conditions. That’s 91% of our trail count and acreage open! If lift served today, we should expect to see the opening of Middle Catapult, and the Sphynx is also now open!!

As always, Wildcat Pub specials are in full effect today, especially for Mug Club members who can get a draft and any appetizer for $20!

The big news I’d like to share today is the official announcement of Community Appreciation Day on February 25^th, our way of saying thank you to our local and regional ski community with $62 advanced tickets ($69 at the window)! If you haven’t come to experience the beauty, iconic terrain, and amazing vibes of Wildcat Mountain, now is the chance at an amazing deal. Tickets are available online now for this day to snag this awesome deal. For our loyal passholders, your Epic Friends tickets can be used on the discounted window rate, and we’d love to see a lot of you coming out for this special day.

We’ll see you out there!

Uphill Access – OPEN

Uphill access is OPEN 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.

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!
