Good Morning Spring Skiing Fanatics!
If you were planning to ski today, looks like a big cancel.
A strong weather front has moved in with some rain and lots of wind, so as a result the Ropeway is CLOSED today for wind. This is quite rare, as the wind has to be coming from a particular direction to affect Ropeway operations. Today is one of those days.
The next two days don't look all that great weather-wise, but it looks like May 5 & 6 will be sunny, so a great way to finish out the season.
Think snow.
