Special Olympics 2012

Congratulations to all the athletes who competed in the annual Special Olympics competition yesterday and a big thanks to all the sponsors and supporters who made this event possible!  It's always a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful day and we can't wait until next year!  Here are some of the pictures from the day.

         

Way to go everyone!

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

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

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!
