Snow Reporter Comments: March 19th, 2:10 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! Freezing temps last night allowed our grooming team to set the mountain up for a beautiful day of groomer riding. Temps will be on the rise this morning settling into the mid-to-upper 20s at the summit and mid-to-upper 30s at the base, with cloudy skies hanging around for the day. Expect machine groomed and frozen granular conditions across the mountain today. All of our non-groomed terrain is recommended for experts only, with a select mix of groomers offering the most consistent skiing. Tomorrow brings comfortable riding weather, with summit temperatures in the low to mid‑30s and upper‑30s to low‑40s at the base. Snow showers are expected tomorrow night, with the potential to add a few fresh inches. We'll be getting down on 293 skiable acres with 12 scheduled lifts, and 46 of 56 open trails groomed.GMX remains closed, check out the latest State of the Mountain blog for more info. Inverness will get the party started at 8:00 AM and Northridge at 8:30 AM. All scheduled lifts will spin at 9:00 AM. Slide Brook Express and Castlerock will be closed for the foreseeable future due to a lack of snow on the evacuation roads. Inverness will be reserved for race training all day tomorrow.
