Daily Mountain Update

Good morning! Today we kick off our spring hours and lifts will open at 10 a.m. While you enjoy that extra hour of sleep or time to drink more coffee, our grooming team will be out making morning rounds and churning out that fresh cord. If it’s tree turns you seek, head to the NW Pass just behind the warming hut at the top of the Rangeley. It’s a short uphill hike to get to this wooded crosscut and it’s well worth the effort. Upper Nightmare was loaded with fresh snow and lower Governor on skier’s left was wicked fun. 

 

We’ll see more sunshine today with temps in the low 30s at the base and mid 20s up top. It is likely we’ll see WSW winds gusting 27 mph, so keep an eye on the mountain report and we will update if this impacts lift ops. Unfortunately it's the same story today with the Kennebago and South Branch Quads. Our experts are chasing down the issues and working on repairs, but these lifts will not spin today. Tight Line,  Supervisor, Dark Wizard, Family Secret, Governor, Intimidator, and Nightmare will still be accessible via the NW Pass. The snow is great making the traverse worth it. Access the Kennebago Steeps via our uphill trail.
 

Our South Branch trails will be closed unless skiing to a condo. If you need condo shuttle service please call Guest Services at 207-864-5671 Ex. 101 and we will schedule a ride.
