Weather and Ski Conditions

Friday February 20^th – 7:00 AM

Headline: Here comes the Snow!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Happy Friday everyone, and for those that have been joining us this week, its been a great one out there, and its only going to get better as more snow is in the forecast to freshen up our snowpack going into the weekend. We are holding onto 95% of our terrain with wall to wall grooming on our snowmaking terrain, and still some good turns to find on our natural trails.  We are fully expecting to be back to 100% of terrain open going into tomorrow’s operation as the forecast is calling for 5 – 10 inches overnight and through the day tomorrow!

Today we will be skiing and riding under overcast skies as this weather front moves into the area with temps topping out between 25 – 31 degrees across mountain elevations. What’s even better is that the wind is forecasted to remain calm during and after this storm, allowing for it to get skied in tomorrow and not blown of the trails.

We are operating on holiday hours all week, operating from 8:30am – 4pm with at least 3 lifts, including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. PLEASE NOTE – Lift Maintenance is currently working hard on an issue with the Snowcat lift auxiliary gas engine that is needed to run the lift in the event of an issue with the electric motor. 

You can expect machine groomed packed powder on 22 trails with packed powder and variable conditions on our 23 natural trails. Top Cat & Lift Lion are taking a little bit of a catnap right now, but with the snow in the forecast, this should reopen on Saturday. Don’t forget to check out Polecat, the longest novice run in NH at 2.75 miles, or Lynx, the locals voted favorite groomed trail.

Our jammed packed daily après scene continues in the Pub from 1pm - 4pm with Ryan St. Onge today, followed by the rest of the crew with Shark Martin on Saturday! Couple that with the final Olympic events airing in the on the TV’s, and it’s the perfect spot to take a break from enjoying some epic turns.

Whether you are joining us for your first or 50^th time, don’t forget to stop by Wildcat Sports to snag your favorite logo wear, grab a quick 30-minute tune down in our rental shop, or order 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!

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!
