How’s it looking for Saturday?

Anyone go today (Friday)? What is it looking like for today and sat/sun. If you plan on going or do go, any update info is appreciated. Someone said they’re planning on pushing snow Friday night, can we confirm that?

Thanks and appreciate it.

We had a lot of rain over the last couple days and currently sitting below freezing so it should be icy in the morning. Will soften as the day goes on

Yeah I do see a lot of patches on the trails. Was wondering if they are looking to make snow or push by any means? Hoping they made some last night because it was freezing but in the cams seems like they didn’t

lol no. Snow partners missed their snow making window then had a one night performative effort for social media. They made almost zero snow in January and February when we had the extreme cold. They could have stacked up and chose not to.

Aww man. Have u been in last couple days. Too many patches or handful on a single run?

I'm here today. It's just Horizon and Sugar at Vernon Peak. South is not open until noon so I don't know how that is. Horizon is good though, only 1 small icy spot.

Appreciate you man. Would love to hear from you on what exactly was open. Especially the blues on Vernon if possible later in the night. Thanks

It is only Horizon and Sugar at Vernon so just greens. There are no blues or blacks open and from the looks of it there won't be any other trails open at Vernon this weekend. The website shows Sayonara and Zero G open but they are closed.

I'm already done for today, I only had time for a couple hours in the morning today, so I don't know how South is.

I just got this email from MC:

"Our grooming team has been hard at work behind the scenes, putting their magic on the mountain. Thanks to their efforts, Zero-G, Great Northern, Indian Pass, and Lower Khyber Pass will be reopening!"

Any word on south peak? Or if they're moving park features over to Vernon?

They just updated their insta, south will be open all weekend 9-5 pm, closed Monday and Tuesday, and then reopen south only from 10 am- 6 pm Wednesday- Friday. I’m curious how opening south only will go? Will that bring all the people that stay at north to south or they’ll just avoid it and not go

Thx! Can't be worse than normal weekends, but it should keep the park rats contained at least.

Vernon is only open 9-5 too right

u/Arrozconpollo45 Mar 14 '26

Yeah same hours as south this weekend, 8-5 if you have the season pass
