Snow Reporter Comments: AM Jan 26 Update: It’s a cool and peaceful morning on the mountain. The air is cold and the winds are light, keeping the snow surface fast and fun all day long. The corduroy this morning is soft and wintery. You can really tell where the snow guns have helped the conditions making it softer and smoother coverage on Happy Trails and Midway.  There are still patches of icy-firm snow especially off piste. Sunshine is in our forecast , with perfect winter temps and increasing clouds in the afternoon. It will be a magnificent Monday to come up and play all day. :) Important Reminder: With a low snow season so far, please ski with caution and watch out for natural obstacles. Ski Patrol is asking everyone to please respect all ropes and closures. Have fun and stay safe out there. January is National Ski Safety Month: You can never be too safe on the slopes! We are encouraging everyone on the slopes to follow the Triangle of Safety guidelines: always be aware of yourself, your speed, and your space. Focusing on Speed: Match the flow, in busy areas, ski no more than 10% faster than surrounding traffic. Use the 3-second rule - maintain distance that allows 3 seconds to react. Use edge control, especially in congested areas and icy conditions.What's going on this week?Check out the Events Page and This Week at Schweitzer for all latest happenings including Moonlight Snowshoe Hike this Saturday!Twilight Skiing is open Fridays and Saturdays.
