Mike Pow 52 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 There will be snow top to bottom. Quality hard to call. I would say spring conditions. Rock hard to start, followed by a couple of hours of perfection, then slush to finish. Link to post Share on other sites

Tommmm 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We stayed in Downtown Lodge this year, is a fantastic place to stay. Although I do remember the people running it saying they were closing it early and merging the guests with Base Lodge. Might be best to call them to confirm. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Snowing currently and further snowfalls to come throughout the week so conditions should be fairly good for this time of year. Certainly there's still a very good top to bottom cover across all areas. Link to post Share on other sites
