WEATHER WATCHERS - So, obviously there are many folks out there watching the weather forecasts. Here's what we know and don't know at this point in time:
1 - We have a significant snow base, plus we have received over 10" of NEW snow in the past week!
2 - The skiing & riding conditions are fantastic! Some of our best machine groomed packed powder of the season, plus the powder stashes can certainly be found.
3 - The overnight and early-morning temps are going to be on the chilly side here these next couple of days, but the sunshine bumps things up here into the low/mid 20s today, tomorrow & Friday. Grab the extra layer, sunscreen and enjoy some of the finest snow here in the midwest!
4 - We see some slight warm-ups for Saturday. From my best estimation, I'd say we will top-out in the mid 30s here Saturday afternoon and lots of sunshine. Expect the SNOW to be nearly PERFECT on Saturday with that EPIC combination of firm groomers in the morning and sun-softened snow by the afternoon. For many of us midwesterners, this is how skiing in March is supposed to be!
5 - Sunday - still a bit mixed on how all unfolds here, but the good news is we should see overnight temps Saturday below freezing which will allow the snow to set-up nicely for those nice firm conditions for the morning session, then it appears we will have a jump into the 50s by the afternoon. The sun will be out, and pretty sure we may see some t-shirts on the hill by the afternoon hours. The skiing will be pretty stellar as the snow softens up as the day moves along.
It does look as if we could see a little inclement weather activity Sunday night/Monday morning, but that really does not look at affect any of our weekend activities at this point. A bit too soon to tell on how this weather system develops, the temps hold out and so forth....the better news is that whatever happens Monday appears very short-lived, and we see the return of cold overnights & 30 degree days for much of next week...plus, maybe some more SNOW!
Stay tuned....A LOT of WINTER left here in DULUTH....enjoy!
Wednesday, 1 March 1 2017 @ 6am: We welcome March with a solid 4" of new snow on Tuesday, bringing our total to 10" since Sunday! Our slope & park conditions are excellent...whether the cruising the sweet machine groomed packed powder OR hitting the various freshies & stashes on our side slopes, off-piste areas and trees! Enjoy the Day, and make those plans for what is going to be an EPIC weekend of GOOD TIMES in Duluth!
Tuesday, 28 February @ 6pm - We're pushing 3" of NEW snow here today, which brings our total since the weekend to nearly 10"...and snow is still falling here this evening with another inch possible! We've been very blessed here over the past few days, and such looks to continue with a wintry weather pattern throughout much of the week then looks fabulous with sunshine & daytime temps crawling into the 40s...then, more snow next week! Thank you, February....Welcome, March!
