Its Going Fast!

Conditions today were very very springlike, the snow is melting fast, Sluice wasn't to bad once you got below the top part, Spillway is really thin, there will be lots of bare patches by tomorrow.  Comp Hill and Skidder are still mostly covered.  Double Bitter is quite patchy and thin.  Lower Winters way, and Candyside are still covered side to side. Temps hovering around 70, there was a bit of a breeze.  Superquad and Skyline are still running till the end. Mtn to Mug is sunday afternoon with music at the Rack with Mason Strunk

Poplar Falls Hike

Didn't ski today, went for a Hike instead. Destination was Poplar stream falls, but due to the foot bridge by the falls being out, didn't quite make it there.  the first half the trail is very wet and gets snowy the further you go up, waist deep in places. hope to get back out there soon, just have to go a different route.

Coming to an end

The Fog and drizzle has taken a toll on the snowpack, but there is still a lot of snow.  The King pine area is still skiing great, Ripsaw is starting to fall apart but its still ok, Be careful on Haulback as there are many crevasses. Kings, Hayburner, Sluice, Spillway, and many other trails still have a great base. Superquad and Skyline are Open till Monday Closing day

The Mtn is still Covered

The Mountain is still covered in snow and the coverage is amazing, Ripsaw to West Mtn, there are some bare spots to watch out for, but the only "walking" is the end of cross haul.  Ripsaw, Bubblecuffer and Winters Way are still Buried.  Foggy and rainy today so I didn't ski but ill be out tomorrow. The Superquad and Skyline are running until Monday May 1st Currently the only food service available is The Widowmaker, the Bag, Java Joes, and Slopeside Provisions. Closing day is May 1st
