10:00 AM Conditions Update | Karie Helms
Wow! What an incredible day out there on the slopes! Powder stashes are all over the mountain. Groomers are filling in with light fresh powder minute by minute. The snow continues to fall, and we are loving every minute of it. Be sure to dress in layers today.
Meadow, Luna Bowl and Lakeside Run are the reporters hot picks.
Have fun out there!
Good Morning Snow Riders,
This is Jessi with your Blacktail Mountain Report for POWDER Wednesday, February 18th. It is currently 19 degrees with winds of 5-10 miles per hour and visibility is at 300 yards due to continuing snowfall. Groomers are reporting 10 inches of new snow since our last report and a settled base of 35 inches. We will be sliding today on powder, packed powder and machine groomed runs with the Magic Carpet, Thunderhead, and Olympic lifts in operation.
We continue to ski on the top half of the mountain, Thunderhead skiers and riders will load at the midway station. Please obey all ropelines and closures they are in place for your safety. Patrol will be assessing the lower mountain first thing today, we are excited about this new snow and anxious to open more terrain as conditions allow.
It’s the first Powder Wednesday we’ve had this season, come on up and get some turns in!
I’ll see you on the slopes!
