its really not that bad in the parts that are covered, but there arent many. powder at top but icy under. medium lines.

Drier than Ghandi’s sandals. No snow whatsoever.

They aren’t making snow, even though it was freezing cold at the top yesterday.  One single run from top of Cinch open, and too many people on the same run. Super icy, not well groomed. Most runs from the chairlift view have no snow at all.  The ones that do have some snow aren’t open yet.  Lots of trees, bushes, tall grasses and large rocks visible on runs that do have a little snow.  For the runs that are open, literally everyone is taking the same run.  Still needing to navigate trees, grass, rocks on those runs.  Dangerous to ski due to crowds, obstacles and icy packed thin snow in roped off small lanes.  Best to wait to come here until the base gets at least another 12 inches above the 19 inch base - which to me seems inaccurate to even claim it’s a 19 base.  There just isn’t enough terrain open, and they are jamming everyone into the same runs which are mostly catwalks intermixed with a handful of green and blue jaunts.  Just not worth the cost of your lift ticket. 

Weak Conditions and Disa

Such a different year for skiing and boarding. We’ve never encountered such little snow in the decade we’ve been coming here at this same time each year.  Grass, trees, rocks, all visible on every single run.  Some without ANY snow at all.  First day of skiing and Cinch lift was open which led hundreds of people down the exact same path, it was like ants everywhere and way too icy and dangerous.  It was freezing cold, but they aren’t blowing/making snow up top.  We tried Strawberry Park, same thing.  No enjoyable terrain open and what is open is icy and overcrowded.  Our choice tomorrow…same terrain, there is no snow making, and no snow in the forecast.  Super bummed because this is what we do on our trip the entire time.  If you are expecting to ski or board, you’ll be disappointed.  No ski in/out either.  To top it off, Epic’s network was down today and anyone counting on using a mobile pass with the app- nope.  We all had to get out of line and go get a physical pass…literally everyone.  The lines in the pass office took 45 mins and everyone had the same issue occurring.  It was just such an expensive day with gear and passes to get just a few abominable runs in.  On a positive note, the village buses are highly available with very little wait. 

Abominable Conditions an

1 chair, 1 run open. They said they are trying to get more open. Hope you didn't plan a trip to just come here.

Great groomers and pockets of light powder. No lift lines and good snow. Coming back tomorrow.

Unreal. 6” on top of 7” that was groomed while the 6” fell. Cold, dry. “Here is the church here is the steeple open the doors ….there are no people!”

Two separate hits. I’m saying 6-7. This was early am. 2nd blanket came hard at noon.

6" to 8" at the top of the mountain. At least 4" everywhere else and its still snowing.
