2:00 PM Conditions Update | Derek Young

It is currently 30 degrees with winds at 4 miles per hour out of the North North West. Conditions have returned to blue skies and warmer, leading to softer conditions on the groomed slopes and in the bowls and glades. Lakeside and Emmons Ridge are still firm and fast, Radar is pushy but carve-able and Olympic runs are consistently smooth. Have a great afternoon on the mountain!



10:00 AM Conditions Update | Derek Young

Good morning Blacktail Mountain Riders and Gliders, we’re underway under clear blue skies, light winds at 4-5 miles per hour out of the North North West, and 26 degrees- so layer up, bring those UV lenses for your goggles, and join us for another great day on the mountain!

The grooming team has set up the runs nicely and worked in these colder overnight temperatures to create firm, fast corduroy off of Thunderhead and Olympic. Reporters choice is Lakeside and Emmons Ridge, with Radar in the sun already it will soften up as the day progresses-time to carve some turns and get your vertical feet in today. There’s still some fresh snow and turns to be found in the trees, explore and find yours!

See you on the mountain!
