After a couple mornings in a row that were in the single digits and teens for lows, we experiencing temperatures that are in the 30s this morning and going to a high in the upper 40s today. Some of the resorts made some snow last night – check out the tour below for those details – and that will be the last of the snowmaking opportunities for a few days now with overnight lows not getting cold enough again until Saturday night or Sunday.
This weekend is looking like some underdeveloped snow early on Saturday changing over to snow later in the evening/night and SNOW on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday! We’ll also be back in the freezer from Sunday on as highs will be in the 20s and 30s with lows in the teens! So ski conditions will remain in the "EXCELLENT" range.
Make plans to ski or ride some of the best ski and snowboarding conditions in years!
