Welcome to Friday, with free refills in the forecast!
Good morning, and welcome to your morning report from the Brundage snow globe. It’s a wintery dreamscape out there this morning, with snow in the air and caked on the trees. The snow ghosts are fully prominent from the top station all the way down to the base area, where we received another 4″ since closing yesterday. With more stacking as I type your morning reading material, it’s shaping up to be an awesome day on the hill!
You like pow days? How about a pow week! Brundage crossed the 200″ threshold for base area snowfall a couple days ago, so needless to say, it’s been quite the week. If you’ve been up here with us all week you may be losing your voice from constant elation. If you have anything left in the hoot n’ holler tank, just be careful not to choke on the chowder … we’re forecast to see snow in the air all day long. My favorite forecast has been pretty spot-on as far as snowfall accumulations as of late, and they’re predicting more today that’ll taper off as we head towards the evening. We more commonly see snowfall ramp up as the sun goes down, so let’s hope to be pleasantly surprised. Temperature wise, we’ve seen things get colder as the days progress this week, just not quite as cold and crispy as the forecast has predicted. That said, we’re expecting a relatively blustery and cold day up here today with temps that may dip into the teens, so dress appropriately for riding lifts or walking to the lodge for lunch.
Mother Nature vs. Mountain Operations
We LOVE fresh snow, and I mean absolutely LOVE it, but it’s always a battle to keep things moving smoothly and keep the mountain operating in its full glory. Turns out, that dream ski area job involves a lot of shoveling. We’re here for it! These things take time, so be patient as our patrol crews do their thing to get you into your favorite zones and please stay out of closed areas. Be aware of tree well safety, as it’s deep out there in places. Our grooming crew put in work last night and this morning, but that work is likely covered in a fresh blanket by the time that base material makes contact with it. Powduroy and powder, that’s what I’m talking about!
It’s Friday, and it’s time to get after it!
Already checked out for the work week, and ready to charge hard for your 2-3 day allotment? Or, maybe you shred every day that ends in “y”? Either way, we’ll be here waiting for you when you’re ready to come up for another awesome day on the hill.
Thanks for reading, and see you on the hill,
