Snow Reporter Comments: April 25th, 1:04 PMGood afternoon skiers and riders! We’re kicking off yet another picture‑perfect day here at the Bush. Today's forecast calls for morning sunshine with cloud cover increasing throughout the day, and temperatures will be climbing into the low 50s by the afternoon. Delightful machine‑groomed terrain has already softened into classic spring conditions. Stein’s is serving up soft, loose granular on top of a firm, frozen base, a contrast that will become more noticeable as skier traffic peels things open through the day. All terrain is recommended for expert only, as this time of year terrain features bare spots and obstacles. As many know, the strip on Upper Snowball has thinned out and is no longer skiable. To avoid base damage or a spicier ride, hiking is now required to bypass this section.We're getting down on 40 acres off of Valley House with 6 of 6 open trails groomed. Valley House spins 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM midweek and 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM on weekends. Looking ahead, our plan is to remain open daily through Sunday, April 26th and reopen for a final weekend May 2nd and 3rd. Tomorrow's shaping up to be another warm spring day, temps will be in the upper 40s to low 50s with partly cloudy skies. All 6 trails will be getting a groom tonight for some more soft laid-back riding tomorrow.Today The Tucker closes out the season, from 5-9 PM, with a tropical sendoff you won’t want to miss. We’re turning the vibe all the way up with a Hawaiian shirt party, so break out your boldest prints and lean into the laid-back, beachy energy.How many consecutive days are you at? Did you know that if you ski consecutive days on your Ikon pass this spring season you are eligible for sweet prizes?  If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale.  Check out all the sweet pass options and perks, we’ve got something for every type of rider.Both of the Lincoln Peak uphill travel routes are CLOSED. The Mt. Ellen uphill route is now CLOSED as well. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
