Good morning Snow Riders,
It is currently 28 degrees with winds of 5-10 miles per hour, visibility is at 300 yards and it is currently snowing. Groomers are reporting one inch of new snow and a settled base of 20 inches. We will be sliding today on packed powder and machine groomed runs with the Magic Carpet and Olympic lifts in operation. Please note that the Crystal and Thunderhead lift will not operate today. Our dedicated maintenance crew is working tirelessly behind the scenes to repair the motor on Thunderhead and have that lift ready for operations as soon as possible. We were able to get some turns in on Crystal country this past weekend. As you know, Blacktail Mountain relies entirely on natural snow and at this time, we need a little more in order to resume operations in Crystal Country.
Thank you for your patience and support as we prepare for what’s sure to be an amazing holiday week. Make sure you are regularly performing your snow dance, I’ll see you on the slopes!
