It’s another one of those hohum days. Gloomy, wet, just blegh. I’m not too bummed though because after today things will turn cold once again. Snowmaking temps return during the overnight hours for the next several days and daytime temps will stay on the cool side as well. Today is just a little hiccup.
Nothing has really changed since yesterday in terms of the resorts. All of the same trails are open as are all of the same resorts. Hence the title of this post. That’s not a bad thing. Around a third of the available trails in the region are open right now. Not too shabby for pre-Christmas.
Snow This Weekend?
I’m not going to go into too much detail about the possibility of snow at the ski areas this weekend due to it being several days out still. I’m sure a lot of you have seen stuff on social media about it. Last night’s model runs backed off the idea of a major storm considerably, so all the weather geeks are waiting for the midday runs to see if that was just a fluke. It looks like some snow for the resorts is likely, but just how much is the million dollar question. I’m still holding out hope for a pow day somewhere on Sunday. I want it! I’ll keep you guys updated all week. Follow Brad Panovich on Twitter too. I’m sure he’ll be posting about it all week as well.

Twenty percent off lodging, free skiing, VIP status, and first tracks before anyone else gets to ride the mountain. Woo! I’m stoked. I doubt I’m going out west this year for a trip, so this is going to be my big-ish trip of the season. My girlfriend is excited and I already know of few of my buddies are making plans to attend as well. It’s going to be a good time and we want you to join us! FYI, you’re going to hear me talking about this a lot over the next few months.
