Open at 9 am. The temperature at 5 am is -7º. The forecast high is 18º, starting out with some sun and clouding up to snow overnight.

The skiing is really, really good. Fabulous. The photo above is on Waite’s Place Loop up on the Chickadee. Photo courtesy of Marie, skier is Mary, and they both reported back, “Really good skiing up there! Don’t ever remember it being better.” So the warning label is off for now. If you ski up above today, and you have a hard time, stick to the greens and practice down below. Chuck’s mom would say, “Pass the Grouse test.” And Jud skied the Upper and Middle Blue Jay and they were great and he left his skis here so he can come back and ski it again today.

About today, we have a kids race this morning starting at 10 am. Your best bet to avoid the kid fun/chaos is to get here after 12 pm. Bonus, the temperature will be warmer.
