Snow Reporter Comments: February 6th, 8:01 AMGood morning skiers and riders! Today is the day to get out and enjoy some beautiful turns before the bone‑chilling cold settles back in. This weekend, those colder temps return after our brief taste of spring, but the good news is more snow is on the way, with snow showers expected this evening into Saturday! Today's forecast calls for partly sunny skies in the morning, with cloud cover increasing throughout the day. Temps will range from upper single digits to low teens up top and upper teens to low 20s at the base. We’ll be getting down on 480 skiable acres, served by 14 lifts, with 52 of 110 trails groomed, including fan favorites like Ripcord, Birch Run, and Cruiser. Look forward to top-tier machine groomed conditions, along with packed powder across the mountain.Operations are back to regular weekday hours. GMX gets the party started, loading at 8:00 AM. All other scheduled lifts open at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook at 10:00 AM. Hit Sunrise for some freshly laid corduroy, or get the legs fired up with a few bumps on Exterminator.
