Snow Reporter Comments: 01/24 3PM Update: It was a beautiful, glittery, chilly Saturday at Schweitzer! I think we sometimes forget how lucky we are to have this beautiful mountain to escape to, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate (come back, snow. We miss you!). The conditions today were surprisingly fun, but there was definitely some crusty, slippy stuff underneath the fluff! We can’t thank our grooming and ops team enough for keeping the terrain so well maintained! Twilight skiing is tonight which means Basin, Creekside, and the Musical Carpet will be rolling until 7. Important Reminder: With a low snow season so far, please ski with caution and watch out for natural obstacles. Ski Patrol is asking everyone to please respect all ropes and closures.  Duck a rope, lose your pass.  Have fun and stay safe out there. January is National Ski Safety Month: You can never be too safe on the slopes! We are encouraging everyone on the slopes to follow the Triangle of Safety guidelines: always be aware of yourself, your speed, and your space. Focusing on Speed: Match the flow, in busy areas, ski no more than 10% faster than surrounding traffic. Use the 3-second rule - maintain distance that allows 3 seconds to react. Use edge control, especially in congested areas and icy conditions.What's going on this week?Check out the Events Page and This Week at Schweitzer for all latest happenings!Twilight Skiing is open Fridays and Saturdays.
