We are finally being rewarded with a fresh layer of snow! The flakes started around 1pm today and show no sign of stopping. Forecasts for the Sunday show calmer weather tomorrow than we saw today, with light winds and cooler temps. Keep an eye on your favorite forecast but it could very well be a powdery morning, with the potential for shred-worthy accumulation overnight.
Make it a SUPERbowl tomorrow by starting the day with fresh hot pow laps. We will be running a special deal for you Seahawks fans - $12 off your lift ticket at the ticket office window for those of you repping a jersey. So get geared up and come get some fresh mountain air before settling in for the big game. We even have some special Seahawks treats for you super fans.
We will continue operations out of the Heathers Meadows Base Area and Raven Hut mid-mountain lodge. Chairs 1 – 6 will be rolling throughout the day, and the free World Famous Heather Meadows Handle Tow will be spinning for you beginners to get your practice laps in.
See you on the mountain.
