Even though there's more snow in the forecast, warm conditions are eroding our base and making it tough to groom to optimal conditions.

With the storm coming in, we are going to hold off on mountain grooming until Sunday morning. We're planning on grooming at South Park Saturday morning. Sunday skiing should be great with freshly groomed trails and temps in the mid-20s!
