Snow Reporter Comments: A good-looking day ahead on the mountain, team! Expect some early cloud clearing to winter sun with light winds throughout the day. The main trails have been freshly groomed, and you’ll still find plenty of sweet stashes tucked into the nooks and crannies from that wind-blown snow we picked up a couple of nights back. We’re also stoked to be hosting the Swiss and Swedish alpine race teams for training over the next 10 days. Big Skite will be closed, but if you can catch a glimpse from outside the closure, it’s well worth it—these are some of the world’s best athletes in action. All in all, it’s shaping up to be a beauty of a winter’s day—see you up here!
