Headline: The week keeps marching on!

Good Morning Wildcat Community –

Welcome to the President’s holiday week here at Wildcat, and wow its been great seeing so many of you coming out and enjoying what we have to offer. What is that you may ask?! Well how does 95% of terrain open, wall to wall grooming on our snowmaking terrain, and plenty of soft bumps on our natural trails sound?  There is literally something for everyone to enjoy out there! And with plenty going on at the mountain every day through this week, the vibes and stoke are at an all time high.

Today’s weather is looking almost tropical if it weren’t for some snow showers that could linger through the course of the day under mostly cloudy skies. Temps will be topping out at 30 – 36 degrees across mountain elevations with continued near calm winds which should keep it feeling really nice today.

All week you can expect holiday hours which mean we will be operating from 8:30am – 4pm with 4 lifts, including the Wildcat Express, Bobcat, Snow Cat, and Snow Belt. Conditions are still really good as you can expect machine groomed packed powder on 22 trails with packed powder and variable conditions on our 24 natural trails. Top Cat and Lift Lion are taking a little bit of a catnap right now, but we have snow in the forecast so we expect to see them back soon. 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, to our signature natural terrain including Top Cat, Starline, to the Sphynx! Don’t forget that the Snowcat lift has made its heroic return this year and Wildcat boasts one the best beginner terrain in the Valley.

We are jammed packed with entertainment for the whole Presidents Holiday Week as we have music everyday in the Pub from 1pm - 4pm with Dan Parkhurst today! Couple that with your favorite 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!
