Snow Reporter Comments: April 6th, 11:34 AMGood morning riders and skiers! A cold front has rolled in today with a fresh dusting, delivering firm and fast riding across the mountain. The forecast calls for partly sunny skies with cooler temperatures, mid-to-upper 20s at the summit and low-to-mid 30s at the base, plus light snow shower will linger throughout the day. Last night’s freeze has locked up yesterday’s wet snow, resulting in firm and variable conditions on ungroomed terrain. Groomers will offer the most consistent riding today, with smooth, fast surfaces ready to be carved. Start clearing your Thursday schedule, sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s are expected, shaping up to be a spring day you won’t want to miss.We’ll be getting down on 108 skiable acres with 5 scheduled lifts and 21 of 22 trails groomed.
