Snowmaking on Upper FIS
Lifts and Trails
Tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with 7 lifts operating. We now have 35 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. The new snow that is forecast will allow us to open over 40 trails tomorrow. 31 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Snow Snake, Upper Chilcoot, and Snake Bite for a grand total of 123 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 40 inches.

Snowmaking
Our snowmakers are still busy on Upper FIS tonight. I want to thank our snowmakers for making some fantastic snow on Upper FIS today! I had a blast playing on the snowmaking piles. We plan to shut down the snowmaking on Upper FIS early tomorrow morning.
