Weather and Ski Conditions

Sunday January 18^th  – 6:20 am

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

It’s been a great holiday weekend so far and it’s only getting better as conditions on the mountain today should be phenomenal! Our groomers were out in full force last night working in the 3-4 inches of snowfall we received in the last 24 hours, and with the temps remaining in the low to mid 20’s today, the snow surface should stay in great shape all day. Winds will be similar to yesterday with light winds at the base and some breeziness on the upper mountain.

We’ll be open from 8:30am – 4pm, operating 4 lifts including the Wildcat Express, the Bobcat, the Snowcat, & the Snow Belt, with powder & packed powder conditions on 23 trails! This means that there is something for everyone to enjoy, with all beginner terrain open, long winding groomers, and natural rugged trails. Our Patrol Team is continuously assessing natural trails and you may see terrain opening & closing throughout the day as conditions change. Stay close to the Lift & Trail Status page for the most up to day listing of open terrain.

If you are joining us for the first time at Wildcat, don’t forget to stop by Wildcat Sports to grab your favorite logo wear, grab a quick 30-minute tune down in our rental shop, or grab a fresh espresso beverage (with adult options) at our Bobcat Bar. Back by popular demand are our famous Wildcat Trail pins, while supplies last, so stop by guest services to ask for your favorite trail! I heard that many of you did yesterday so get them while they are here. Want another special pin? If you get scanned and it plays the birthday tone on our scanners, we have some special birthday pins as well! You never know when you’ll also see our signature hot chocolate back pack out there, so keep an eye out.

We also have some last minute space in our Ski & Ride School and Kitten Club playcare this weekend, so get online for the best prices in advance for Lessons, Rentals, and Lift Tickets .

Today in the Pub we’ll have Mike Maurice, a new musician from Maine playing from 1pm – 4pm today, along with a Truly Promo with samples and swag, so come check it out! We'll also have the Pat's game playing in the Pub this afternoon, so make Wildcat the place to watch the first half. We'll keep the bar open as long as we have a crowd!

PLEASE NOTE – Cheetah trail will be closed from Noon to 4pm today, as our Wildcat Ski Team trains on this trail instead of Snowcat Trail today.

Our team is very excited to provide you great service and an awesome experience, so 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!

We’ll see you out there!

Snow Surfaces Update

We called it a wrap on Middle & Lower Lynx yesterday, and the team is very pleased with how it came out and feel its bulked up to get us late into the season. We are going to let it rest for a little bit and start pushing it out tonight with hopes of opening it early this week. Stay tuned for that announcement!

Next we are moving into the Middle & Lower Catapult / Alley Cat / Black Cat pod of terrain next. Once that is complete, we plan to go back to key areas across the hill to build base depth to ensure we have a long season ahead of us no matter what mother nature throws at us. We are not slowing down!

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.
