March 13, 2024. Happy Birthday FR.
Seven runs today and 27 runs in the last three days for this crew. The most out of any 3 day period this season. More than a foot of new snow in 48 hours and incredible skiing today. We were able to get one group in for a run in Snell Canyon with the aircraft […]
March 12, 2024. buzzin’ all over this.
Ten, Ten, Ten. Ten runs yesterday. Ten runs today. Ten inches of new snow during the day. Snowcat skiing during the day with accumulating snow on each run. This place is magic and after the last two days, the lodge is buzzin’. Unsettled weather is expected again tomorrow before a strong high pressure ridge moves […]
March 11, 2024. band of brothers.
Ruby magic. Heavy snow this morning offering a partial reset to all terrain. We moved through our orientations this morning, thinking we were headed snowcat skiing with the mountains obscured. Like magic, after we finished the final safety briefing of the aircraft in the hangar, the sky cleared. We skied 10 runs in five different […]
March 9, 2024. those two days deserve fireworks.
Eight runs, one of them being extra vertical in Talbot Creek. We opened four runs today that had not yet been skied in the 2024 season. It is great to see the snowpack stability improve allowing us to access new terrain for the first time this winter. The highlight of the ski day today was […]
March 8, 2024. like skiing in a dream.
Eleven runs in the alpine and Seitz Canyon for the first time in the 2024 season. One of the best days of the year with incredible skiing and flying. “Think of how long people chase a day like this.”- Fred Alldredge The lodge is buzzing with energy from many guest’s- best day ever. The snowpack […]
March 7, 2024. love to hear it.
Chased by the clouds all day, we were able to sneak in six runs in Thorpe, Conrad Creek and Talbot Creek. The best skiing of the day was in the Dry Fork of Thorpe Creek and Talbot Creek where we were skiing boot top dry powder. 4-6 inches of new snow overnight with a surprise […]
March 6, 2024. sorry 4 the wait.
Six runs in Talbot Creek, four of extra vertical. Someone told me today, “this trip lasts three days but I think about it for the whole year.” That is what it is all about. Cold smoke, eight inches of new snow overnight. My oh my. It just continues. New guests arrive tonight for the single […]
March 5, 2024. in the air.
For the fifth straight day we started the morning in the snowcats due to strong southwest winds at the lodge elevation. After six runs in the cats in Conrad Creek the winds decreased enough to finish the day with two magic runs in the aircraft in Talbot Creek. An incredible scene on the mountain, with […]
Mach 4, 2024. these are the good days.
A foot of new snow overnight on top of a soft base. More than 3 feet of new snow since this storm cycle began on March 1st. Howling winds continued throughout the day today keeping us in the snowcats after the first initial lift into Conrad Creek with the aircraft. Some of the best skiing […]
March 3, 2024. you don’t win them all unless you’re Tom Brady.
Three-day tour, three-days in the snowcats in Conrad Creek. It doesn’t happen often when we don’t get in the aircraft whatsoever for three days but due to the strongest storm of the season we skied 24 runs in the Conrad Creek area since Friday Morning. A true luxury to have the snowcats and the cat […]
