Weather and Ski Conditions

Wednesday, March 4^th  – 6:55 AM

Headline: Not your average hump day!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

There’s nothing like waking up to the silent majesty of a winter’s morn’ with fresh fallen snow on the ground and bluebird skies on the way, not to mention warming temps. We picked up a solid 2-3 inches of snow across mountain elevations, so the skiing and riding should be top notch today. Maybe your’re feeling a little under the weather for the first couple of hours this morning and need to cure yourself with a couple of laps up and down the mountain. Just saying…

Today’s weather looks to continue our sunny pattern this week with the biggest change being the increase in temps that will begin to move into the area. Temps are starting out in the mid 20’s this morning and will quickly rise to a high of 36-42 degrees across mountain elevations, definitely bringing the warmest temps we’ve seen recently. With last night’s front moving out, we are experiencing some stronger winds that have the potential to impact lift operations, so please stay tuned to this report, the Lift & Terrain Status page, and the My Epic App for the latest information.

Today we are open from 9:00am – 4pm with 3 lifts, including the Wildcat Express, Snowcat, and Snow Belt. The grooming team focused on our core snowmaking terrain last night while always being considerate to keep some fresh tracks available on some our trails to offer everyone an opportunity to enjoy the powder. You can expect powder & packed powder machine groomed conditions on 21 trails while our 21 natural trails will be powder on top may still be variable underneath, as we look at skiing and riding on at least 87% of our terrain. Patrol will continue to assess closed runs to see if we can reopen anything, but please respect closures of terrain for your safety as the new snow may not be enough to bring some of them back to life.

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. As always, Wildcat Pub specials are in full effect today with the always popular Warm Up Wednesday, where you get a draft and any Pub favorite for $25.00.

Looking forward to the rest of the month, we have some great après and events planned including one of our last Passholder First Tracks events this Friday March 6^th with a 8:30 opening of the mountain, our signature Wildcat Apres with live music every Friday & Saturday, as well as hosting the 75^th Wildcat Ski Team Sap Run on March 14^th & 15^th, one of the oldest ski races in the state. We will also be hosting a special Wildcat ski day with the Mount Washington Valley Adaptive Sports program on Saturday March 31^st, where new and existing participants can develop their skills on Wildcat’s signature terrain.

We really appreciate the great feedback we have been receiving from so many of you that have come to enjoy Wildcat, and hope to you see you out there today enjoying the amazing conditions!

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!
