Good Morning Snow Riders,

This is Jessi with your Blacktail Mountain Report for Sunday, December 28th. It is currently 3 degrees with light winds of 0-5 miles per hour and visibility is unlimited. The forecast is calling for sunshine today, we’re hoping that temperatures will rise with the sun. Groomers are reporting  3 inches of new snow overnight, with 6 in the last 24 hours and a settled base of 29 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 will be skiing on the top half of the mountain today, Thunderhead skiers and riders will load at the midway station. Crystal Country and additional terrain will open as soon as conditions permit. Early season conditions exist, please obey all ropelines and closures they are in place for your safety. 

It was an amazing day on the slopes yesterday and we are looking forward to more of the same today! Come on up and get some turns in.

Blacktail is open seven days a week now through January 4th for the holiday. I’ll see you on the slopes!
