Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025:

10 a.m. update:

Chairs 7 and 11 are open! Thanks for your patience this morning.

9:30 a.m. update:

Chairs 11 and 7 are currently closed which means there is no backside lift access as of 9:30 this morning. I’ll keep you posted in case anything changes, but for now plan on lapping the frontside. As for the snow conditions, it’s looking a little crispy out there. The snow is feeling firm and a bit chattery this morning with a pretty thick crust on areas that haven’t been groomed. It might be a good call to stick to the groomers. As temperatures warm a bit through the day things may soften up. Good news is that low visibility I called this morning is blowing off a bit so we might be getting some intermittent clear skies! I’ll catch you all out there! 

6 a.m. report:

Last night was a wet one in town, but up high we saw some snow! Over the past 24 hours we saw an amazing 11 inches of snow at the summit. Overnight, we got about 3 inches of heavier, wet snow. Expect the inch we received at the base to be wet and slow, as it was a combo meal of rain, sleet and snow.

The temperature at the summit is currently around 30 degrees with high wind speeds of about 10-20 mph with 40 mph gusts. The wind is going to be whipping, so take breaks as needed throughout the day and watch for downed branches. To avoid getting blown away, opt for your tightest-fitting clothing and avoid catching too much air. 

Visibility is low up top, so keep your wits about you, especially in areas with sportier conditions as obstacles and changes in snowpack will be hard to detect. Early-season conditions are still in play; get ready to hop some shrubs and battle a few twigs. The grooming team did their best with our mix of conditions out on the mountain, but there are still some irregularities. Ski in control today!

Drive smart this morning, too. The mountain road may be slick due to the wintry mix we received at the base. Remember, a great way to get to the mountain is to ride the S.N.O.W. Bus!

Expect Chairs 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 to be up and operational today. T-Bar 2 is closed on weekdays. As for beginner terrain, Chipmunk and Hope Slope are open, and Chair 6, the Big Easy Carpet and the 2 Easy Carpet will be running.

As a reminder, Home Again is closed, if you need to get to your car at the base area you can hop on the free shuttle! The shuttle stops every 15-20 minutes at the Bierstube, the Birch Lot and the Base Lodge. Also, Ed & Mully's will be closed Monday through Thursday this week but will open back to normal operating hours on Friday for the rest of the season!

I'll be out there today checking out the terrain and updating you guys on how it's looking. Pop on your low-light lenses and get after it! 

The snow report is a subjective assessment of terrain and weather conditions. Snowfall and snow depths are measured at the summit and base areas around 6 a.m. each day. Actual depths may vary across the mountain and change throughout the day. Always check with ski patrol if you need more information about skiing conditions.

If you go out of bounds ...

When you exit the marked boundaries of the resort, you are entering backcountry terrain where natural and human-caused avalanches can occur. The resort does not conduct avalanche mitigation on those slopes. Always check the Flathead Avalanche Center's daily avalanche forecast and carry a beacon, shovel and probe.

Stay safe out there!

Did you know tree wells can be deadly? How do you ski or ride safely in early-season conditions? Have you read the Skier Responsibility Code?

Please review our safety guides to help keep you, your buddies and your fellow guests safe on the slopes.
