Snowmaking

Snowmaking resumes on Morse Mountain today. Tonight we plan to make snow on Sir Henry’s, Magic Learning Trail, Garden Path, Snow Snake, and the top of Morse. Tomorrow we plan to make snow on Garden Path, Lower Morse Liftline, and Snow Snake.

New Snow

We received an inch of new snow today, 11 inches in the past week, and 142 inches this season so far.

We now have 32 trails open with terrain for all ability levels. 27 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Lower Chilcoot, Dixie’s Knoll, and Smugglers’ Alley for a grand total of 116 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 40 inches.

King Billy BEFORE

Larry’s class entering King Billy Bear’s den…

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. I got to tool around Morse Mountain today. I saw Larry and Dara (but not their other brother Darrell) teaching Discovery Camp skiers (ages 3-5, aka Disco Kids) on the Magic Learning Trail and Sir Henry’s. Morse is a great area for beginners and it also features trails for intermediates. I ran into Snowmaking Maestro Justin Thoelke during lunch at Green Mountain Deli. He said snowmaking’s next move was going to be Sam’s Run and Dixie’s Knoll and that’ll open more trails on Morse! Maybe then Darrell will come out and take some runs.
