Weather Report

Saturday December 27th – 7:00am 

Good Morning Wildcat Community –  

We are looking at a solid holiday weekend in front of us and today is a great day to come out and enjoy the iconic views of Mount Washington while skiing and riding on 10 trails with access off the Wildcat Express, Tomcat Triple, and the Snowbelt. We are currently in our holiday lift schedule through Sunday 1/4 with lifts spinning from 8:30am – 3:30 pm.  

The weather will be a bit more comfortable today with lingering snow showers and light winds giving way to sunny skies this afternoon with temperatures starting cool at the summit but warming up to mid-teens to mid-20’s. These temps have been great for the snowpack, and the trails are skiing really well with packed powder conditions.  

NEW TERRAIN ALERT – Middle & Lower Polecat has opened for the season with access off the Tomcat Lift. Please note that there is no beginner access from the Wildcat Express, however you can access Polecat via Upper Lynx to Tomcat trail. 

NOVICE SKIING & RIDING TIP – As we continue to work on bringing the Snowcat back online, we recommend our novice skiers and riders consider our available beginner terrain at Attitash Mountain for the best possible experience.  

Make sure to head up to the Wildcat Pub from 1pm – 4pm for après entertainment from Pat Foley while you grab some drinks a snack from our refreshed menu.  

Looking to spend that gift card that you got at your office Christmas party? Check out the fully stocked Wildcat Sports shop for your favorite exclusive Wildcat gear. While you’re at it, treat yourself, and your gear, to a 30-minute quick tune from Taber and our Rental/Repair team on the bottom floor of the lodge.  

Snow Surface Update 

After waiting to get through some windy conditions in the last couple days, our snowmaking team will be back at it today starting up Upper Polecat, setting our sites on opening going into the Christmas/New Years holiday week. We will share our plans for our next phase of terrain soon!  

Snowcat Update 

Our Lift Maintenance teams and lift engineers are continuing to work on the new electrical system for the Snowcat after it experienced challenges passing its load test on Monday. Safely operating our lifts is a responsibility that we take seriously, and we will need extra time to find the root of the issue and make the necessary corrections. It is still our plan to open this lift as soon as we can this season and will keep everyone updated as we know more. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please stay tuned for more updates early next week. 

We’ll see you out there!
