Weather and Ski Conditions

Sunday, March 15^th – 6:55 am

Headline: Let the Sap Run!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Today is not your normal Sunday as the hill will come alive with day two of the 75^th Wildcat Ski Team Sap Run taking place on Cheetah, believed to be one of the oldest continuous ski races in the state. Our groomers have also been out there tirelessly working to keep our terrain in the best condition possible, and we should be looking at some good conditions out there today as they mixed in the new snow that fell yesterday.

We are expecting similar weather to yesterday with the potential for some early morning sun with intermittent cloudiness throughout the day. Temps are starting the day chilly as its currently sitting in the mid to lower teens and expect some warming through the day with highs topping out at 27 – 36 degrees across mountain elevations. Overnight high winds are calming this morning, and do not currently anticipate any wind related impacts.

We will be open today from 8:30am – 4pm with 4 lifts and at least 14 trails including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat , Snowcat, and Snowbelt lifts. The team was working hard last night to bring Middle & Lower Lynx back online, and we are just awaiting confirmation on how things went. Stay tuned to the Lift & Terrain Status page for the latest trail count. Conditions will be machine groomed packed powder / frozen granular and potential variable spots. Please keep in mind that although we picked up a few inches of new snow that may make certain terrain look more skiable, please be mindful that we did lose a great deal of snow this week. All this to say, please respect closures as they are there for your safety!

We have a bonus day of our signature après in the Wildcat Pub on tap with Dan Parkhurst playing from 1 – 4pm. Couple that with our awesome pub menu and top notch service, and it’s the perfect place to refuel before heading back out on the slopes.

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. I also received word from one our Guest Services Leaders Taylor that we have some new buttons available at the front desk so grab your limited edition pins to add to your collection!

Its never too late to learn how to ski and ride, and we still have availability in our Ski & Ride School and Kitten Club play care for this weekend, so book now! Walk-ins are also welcome. Take advantage of our advanced pricing on all lift tickets, lessons, and rentals online at www.skiwildcat.com for the best deal, and maybe treat your friends to your Epic Friends tickets if you are a passholder. Space is still available

We are still going strong here at Wildcat as we are no strangers to resiliency. We are actively tracking tomorrow’s weather pattern and plan to provide an end-of-day update for Monday operations as we look to make the right decisions to preserve our snow pack. We look forward to seeing you out there!
