Mountain Update 1/23- Fresh Snow and More Trails!

2012-01-23T09:59:00.000-05:00

The snow has arrived! Thanks to the blanket of fresh snow and cold temperatures we’ve been able to open more terrain. Last week we opened the Triple Chair and our Family Fun Terrain Park in its new location on the Banister. The Terrain Park features 9 elements consisting of rails and boxes for both beginners and more advanced skiers and riders. We currently have 15 trails, 6 tubing lanes, and all of our lifts in operation and will continue to make snow in order to open more trails. This Saturday, Jan. 28th marks the annual Special Olympics competition so come support the athletes as they compete in alpine, nordic, and snowshoe races. Keep praying for snow and we hope to see you here soon at Ski West Mountain!

Mountain Update & Forecast

2012-01-09T12:30:00.001-05:00

Although Mother Nature has been keeping the snow all to herself we’ve had another successful week here at West Mountain! Our snowmakers have been making snow whenever possible to keep our skiers and riders happy despite the unseasonable temperatures. It was great to see many familiar faces back on the hill for the start of our weekly lesson program last weekend and we were also happy to host Goldstock’s Demo Day. We currently have 4 trails, 4 lifts, and 4 lanes of our tubing park in operation with machine groomed packed powder surface conditions and a base depth of 16-28 inches. We will continue to make snow weather permitting and hope to open more terrain as soon as possible including the terrain park in its new location on the Banister. There is a chance of snow all weekend long so do a snow dance, wear your pajamas inside out and backwards, or do whatever it is you do to conjure up a good old fashioned snow storm!

West Mountain is Open for the 2011/2012 Season!

2011-12-30T16:48:00.002-05:00

West Mountain is open for the season! Mother Nature finally brought us some colder temperatures over the Christmas Weekend which allowed our snowmaking team to blow enough snow for Opening Day on Monday, December 26. The holiday week brought many eager skiers, boarders, and tubers to the mountain despite the challenge of the unseasonable weather earlier in the week. Mid-week saw a drop in temperatures which allowed our snowmakers to resume snowmaking for the rest of the week and also brought a dusting of fresh snow on Friday morning. We currently have 4 trails, 4 lifts, and 4 lanes of our tubing park in operation with machine groomed packed powder surface conditions and a base depth of 12-24 inches. The forecast for the weekend is snow and sleet with temperatures in the 30’s, but we’re hoping for all snow! Snowmaking will continue all weekend, weather permitting, and we hope to open more trails as soon as possible. You can visit our website, Facebook, and Twitter pages for continuous snow updates, specials, and events and don’t forget to stop by the Westside Grille for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And above all else…THINK SNOW!

Ready?
