10:20 a.m. update:

It's another stunner of a day with clear blue skies and majestic views of Glacier National Park from the summit!

It really is astounding how well much of our terrain has held up given the scant snowfall we've received over the past few weeks. I just took a leisurely lap down Whitetail on the backside, where the snow is sugary and easy to lay an edge into.

There are various hazards, however. On the frontside, expect tricky conditions and please watch your speed until the afternoon sun softens everything up. Be on the lookout for frontside grooming irregularities — lumps, bumps, potholes and ridges where our machines couldn't quite produce seamless corduroy. Down low and on steeper terrain, you might encounter rocks or sticks poking through the snow surface.

Temps are hovering around 28 degrees at the summit currently. Come on up for some morning laps before the Whitefish Winter Carnival festivities kick off downtown!

6:30 a.m. report:

Have you ever dreamed up the perfect Saturday? Personally, I think mine would probably have to be skiing all day with my friends in the sun! If that's your idea of a perfect Saturday too, then it sounds like today is the day to make it happen. 

We got no new snowfall to report on this morning, but we'll have plenty of sun and soft turns this afternoon! Reports are saying that we may be getting a healthy serving of new snow arriving on Sunday and Monday. I'm hopeful that this should improve conditions considerably and be just what we need to give our snowpack some more life! Lock in, everyone, and think snow.
