FRI APR 18, 5:31AM:
Happy Friday, Sierra!
As we enter into closing weekend, here’s my final mountain conditions report of the season.
Today’s forecast is calling for a high temperature of 45F under sunny skies, with moderate NE wind from 5-8mph, gusting up to 23mph. It might feel a little chilly this morning, so I'd recommend wearing layers that you can shed as the sun rises to noon.
I don’t know how they do it, but despite warm temps and melting snow, our incredible team of groomers are out there pushing – creating a beautifully groomed surface for us to enjoy, with the same trails groomed today that they had yesterday. And it’s been skiing great! Thank you, guys! Today’s lift operations will include Grandview, Nob Hill, Easy Rider, 2 carpets and 4 terrain parks. Dining options today include 360 Smokehouse at the top of Grandview, as well as Mama’s, The Pub and Java in our main lodge. Stop by The Pub today between 2-4pm to catch California-based musician Nathan Ignacio – his performance includes guitar, mandolin, harmonica, piano, bass and dulcimer – playing many instruments simultaneously!
I’m expecting an awesome day of skiing and riding out there today. So wax up those bases and don’t sleep on the perfect spring conditions we’ve been enjoying all week! The parks are impeccable, the groomers are smooth and fast, and the snow is soft and forgiving all over the hill. Is today the day you finally master riding switch?! The soft, edgeable snow says “Yes, yes it is!”
Thank you all for an incredible season, and for being the best part of our Sierra family! See ya on the snow!
