The epic continues for the weekend and you don't want to miss out on all the new snow! With 17" new snow in the past week and 6" fresh snow today and still falling could you ask for a better winter? We know it only can get better with this as the snowiest month of the season. We have 100% open terrain for all abilities. The weather for the day has the Alberta Clipper stalling over the state for sometime. So far, we have 6" fresh snow and we expect a possible foot to fall! Oh how the winter continues to show us the fun, excitement, and thrill of why we all get to the slopes each day! As it is a Powder day, the primary surface will be freshies. The grooming crews worked to groom early, but the snowfall event began in the early morning hours, thus creating a change of surface. Look for the fluffy white goodies on all terrain because the snow will be falling all day. It is the ATP Freeride series FINAL event today. We have our Skiercross/Ridercross on Spillway at 11:00am. If you have seen the X-Games, you well know that this is a high speed chase through a sweet course. The excitement is here for you to enjoy or participate in today!
