Current Conditions

For Friday, we'll be 100% open carving on all 61 trails across 370 acres. Our groomers have made a lasting impression with mixing in the three feet of snow this month stretching into our upcoming snow storm. Conditions have been at their best all week long and it’s about to get better-starting tonight. Forecasts are calling for snow accumulations up to 3 inches through Friday morning…and that’s just the appetizer. Looking into the weekend, forecasts call for a large winter storm with possible accumulations of up to two feet! We are looking at this storm closely, and the snow forecast may change, but whatever the totals turn out to be - it will be a LOT. If I were you I would start planning your MLK weekend now and save by buying your multiday tickets for the long weekend now.

LIFTS
8 lifts are scheduled for Friday, including the Gondola, Seven Brothers, Little Sister Double, North Peak Express Quad, Kancamagus Express Quad, Kissin' Cousins Double, Tote Road Connector, Lincoln Express Quad, and Sarsaparilla Carpet. Chairs will start spinning at 9:00 A.M.

WEATHER
Overnight it looks like there will be snow showers starting around midnight and lasting till noon on Friday. Snow accumulation is expected up to three inches. Temperatures will be warmer tomorrow with 32 degrees at the base and 26 at the summit. Expect mild winds coming out of the S-SW.

Looking ahead further into the weekend, as the winter storm gets nearer, models show snow 18+ inches. But make sure to bring extra layers- temps will be in the low teens.

SNOWMAKING
We will not make snow tonight.
