7:45am It looks clear outside this morning. Smooth corduroy and great visibility should make for a great day on the hill.

6:30am Yesterday was a great groomer day here on the mountain. I skied all around the mountain but I found the best corduroy was over on Heaven. It had not been groomed in a while so it was soft and they did a great job making it smooth. The snow off groomed was better than the day before but you still are hitting that firm layer underneath. Drop in to Connie's Coulee late and you can still find some fresh lines.

My hat's off to the grooming staff this season. Even though we have had a mild lean snow year they have given us a smooth surface to carve up everyday. This morning I plan on thanking them by laying some tracks down the beautiful corduroy. The Terrain Park has been in great shape and it should be a great place to visit today. Not much time left so get up here and ski.

Your Responsibility Code

Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
  • Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
  • People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
  • You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
  • Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
  • Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
  • Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
  • Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
