Snow Reporter Comments: Fri 17 July, 08:59AM It's another Stunner! It'll be another beaut sunny day on the hill. The sky is full of stars and there is just a puff of a breeze from the east. The current temp is a warm 4.8 degrees and we are heading for a balmy top of 8 degrees. Although the temp is warm, the humidity has remained very low since yesterday afternoon, which has allowed the snowmakers to have a good run overnight and they are still pumping it out down in the valley this morning. This should make for pretty good turns on firm groomers this morning, and the sunny aspects should soften as the day progresses. Enjoy. Heavenly Valley Lift is closed and the area is Not Recommended. The cover is marginal and the surface will remain icy all day on the shaded aspects. The conditions are only suitable for Advanced and Expert skiers and riders, so think about your group's ability before traversing across from the Summit or Road Runner. The Extreme Area is Closed due to an extreme ice hazard. Do Not Enter! Cheers Bill
