Snow Reporter Comments: 12/13 3:00pm update: Well, there’s nothing like another day of spring skiing in December! We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again – a day on the mountain is better than a day in the office. A huge shoutout is in order for our grooming crew and all of the ops team that are making it all possible. While this isn’t the weather we thought we’d have mid-December, we’re still having fun ? As we look at the forecast, we’re optimistic that next week, Mother Nature is going to “chill out” and bring us some snow. Keep thinking cold thoughts, folks! 12/13 10:00am update: The turns are soft, the weather is mellow, and the Musical Carpet is open for business! Come hang out at the mountain with us! 12/13 8:00am update: While we cannot control the weather, we can use superstition and visualization to coax the clouds into releasing snow. So, here are a few simple rituals you can try at home. The Pajama Trick: wear your pajamas inside out and backward before you go to sleep. The Ice Cube Flush: flush one ice cube down the toilet for every inch of snow you want. (this method may use excessive amounts of ice cubes:)The White Crayon: place a white crayon on the windowsill or in the freezer to "draw" out snow to the mountain. We appreciate you, so keep up your smiles and happy thoughts while we all generate positive winter energy. In the meantime, our grooming crew has done an amazing job putting Midway together every morning. The snow is soft and there are still 2 features in the mini terrain park. There are some brown spots showing and plenty of natural obstacles to keep an eye out for. BUT, we're out there sliding and that's our goal. Schup:)Early season conditions and unmarked obstacles exist. Ski patrol highly recommends sticking to the groomed trail and there is no beginner terrain available.Deals & EventsGourmandie Shop & Sip featuring L'Ecole Winery - Saturday, December 13, Join us from 2:00pm - 4:30pm and browse through the gift selection, participate in wine sampling for only $5, and receive 10% off all retail items.
