10:00 AM Conditions Update | Derek Young
It is currently 28 degrees with winds of 5-7 miles per hour out of the south, with visibility at 100 yards at the summit. A skiff of new snow overnight and favorable wind conditions have the groomed runs off Thunderhead skiing well, Emmons Ridge to Damnation is my pick to start off the day. The mountain is skiing smooth this morning, with a firm base and conditions lining up nicely from the first chair. Expect flat light this morning and blowing snow, so layer up and pair up the clear lenses for a fun Friday!
Good Morning Snow Riders,
This is Jessi with your Blacktail Mountain Report for Friday, January 29th. It is currently 28 degrees with winds of 5-10 miles per hour out of the west and visibility is unlimited. Groomers are reporting a skiff of new snow in the last 24 hours and a settled base of 25 inches. We will be sliding today on 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.
Joe Martinez will be in Muleys bar this afternoon from 3-5 PM as our Mountaintop Music series continues.
I’ll see you on the slopes!
