Feb 5 - warm days, cold nights make for a lot of ice everywhere, until the sun hits it and it’s skiable and slushy. There’s enough good spots to have fun all day on the hill though!

Minimal runs open. Absolutely garbage. No snow at the base and ice everywhere else. Feels like only 5 runs open because everyone is skiing on the same few runs that are in the sun and soft. This mountain should not be open right now.

18-22 Jan was icy, patroller signage (correctly) stated only groomed skiable which ruled out nearly all black runs upward and most of the mountain. Official snow report described upper mtn as ‘variable.’ Dusting of snow on 22 Jan started to improve conditions.

Still an icy, groomers only day but some fresh snow beginning to fall.

This picture was from yesterday (Jan 17th). It's probably the worst you would see on the mountain, but it's representative of the massive damage the thaw and rain did earlier in the week. Absolutely nothing but groomed trails were even remotely skiable.

Skiing is improving, they are making snow at the bottom half of the hill. Starting to cover the ice.

Spring skiing with heavy wet snow anywhere below Whitepass base. Very sticky near the bottom with recommendations by RCR to stick to grooomed runs off Bear chair. Still better then not skiing, just not good for mid January. Image is from the top of Suprise.

Came to the hill at 9am to heavy rain and 3C. Thought it might be one run and done. Stayed all day. Whitepass was pretty awesome, Currie and Lizard were in good shape except near the bottom of the hill. Snowed all day up top, rain at the bottom 1/4 of the mountain only.
