Snow Reporter Comments: February 13th, 1:36 PM*Slide Brook is closed for the day*Good afternoon skiers and riders, and happy Friday the 13th! The past 48 hours have delivered plenty of snow and midweek magic. Conditions are absolutely prime as we roll into the holiday stretch, setting us up for a stellar week of skiing and riding. Today's forecast calls for a beautiful day filled with sunny skies and temps in the low-to-mid teens at the summit, and low-to-mid 20s at the base. Tomorrow brings more of the same, with partly sunny skies and mild temps, upper teens at the summit and mid‑20s at the base. We’ll be getting down on 484 skiable acres, served by 14 lifts, with 111 open trails and 61 freshly groomed runs including fan favorites like Jester, Ripcord, and Elbow. You can look forward to immaculate groomers and packed powder conditions across the mountain today.
