Snow Reporter Comments: Operations Update: Saturday, July 12
We love mountains, snow, skiing, and snowboarding, but today our thoughts are with our friends all around the top of the south. Mother Nature is testing us, but this is one strong community, and the sun will shine again. ☀️
Rainbow’s weather has been just like the stuff at your place. Extraordinary is one way to describe it. On the bright side, the pattern looks set to change and we expect snow to fall on the maunga this week.
The ski area remains on hold, so keep an eye on the webcams and this page for updates. We’ll let you know when snow starts to build up again.
We've had so many great runs from the top of the T-Bar over the years. One thing for sure, there are more to come. We are still in the game.
