That was a fun weekend.
The Saturday storm certainly delivered as we had fresh powder and cold temperatures. As a cherry on top, snowmaking crews have been able to work their magic as well setting the stage for a great start to the week.
The weekend was a nice break from the spring conditions we had been seeing – and will be seeing as we march through the week.
Saturday was all kinds of awesome, and Sunday was a bluebird day.
It was a great way for four resorts to end their respective seasons as Bryce Resort, Canaan Valley, Wintergreen, and Winterplace all wrapped up the 2021-22 season. I don’t think they could have drawn it up much better.
That gives us eight resorts open for skiing and riding as we kick off the week.
For full conditions, be sure to visit the Snow Reports page, but here is a quick snapshot at where we stand this morning.

Today’s featured image is from John Nowell by way of Bill Nabors from Bryce. Bill said that it was a great day to send the season at Bryce and sent over the below pics.
