Snow Reporter Comments: 3:00pm Update: The groomers today were about as good as they get! Sunshine, cold temps and that squeaky-crisp winter snow mountain wide. Off-piste was variable, everything from fun chalky wind-buff in the C’s and Misfortune, exposed ice and crust layers in Gladiator, to deeper stashes off the TBar. It was one of those days where it was worth exploring for those perfect lines, but sticking to the groomers were just as fun. Looks like the next storm is rolling in late tonight with 1-3 inches before opening bell. The temps are supposed to warm up tomorrow afternoon, with a chance of rain, so be sure to get up here early to get goods. And head’s up: tomorrow is the last chance for the Outback this season, so head back there to say hi to the staff who will serving up a limited menu but extra helping of Outback cheer.  Buy Now, Ride Now with a 2026 Spring Pass, a 26/27 Schweitzer Pass or a 26/27 Ikon Pass.
