Overnight temperatures have been too warm for consistent snowmaking, but our snowmaking team is ready to take advantage of any cooling window that allows us to continue building the base.Expect firmer packed powder and freshly groomed runs early in the day, with conditions softening as the sun warms the slopes throughout the afternoon. Dressing in layers is the best way to stay comfortable from the cool morning start into the warmer afternoon. Compact lockers are available on site for secure storage of extra gear or jackets.Chair 5, Chair 7, and Chair 9 will be operating today from 9AM to 4PM, offering access to the day’s available terrain.Bear Mountain’s terrain park is currently set with 18 features, including 16 jibs and 2 jumps. Riders can test their skills on creative setups such as the pole jam to Sun Bum tube or the bonk to skate rail combination.
