Snow Report February 8, 2025
Big Air is here! Join us at 11 AM on the Bear Trail to watch skiers and riders throw down massive tricks at our annual Big Air on Bear competition! Last-minute sign-ups are still open at Guest Services, but hurry—registration closes at 10 AM. Don’t miss out on one of the most exciting events of the season!
Mother Nature has been on a roll (minus the wind), and our groomers have been busy turning fresh snowfall into pristine corduroy. Lower Skyward will remain ungroomed, while Essex and Hoyts will see fresh tracks.
The Lowdown
We anticipate opening today with 11 lifts and 92 trails, featuring packed powder and frozen granular conditions. Off-and-on snow showers will continue this morning before giving way to mostly cloudy skies and highs in the 20s.
With over 280+ acres to explore, here’s a quick reminder—there is no beginner terrain off the Gondola, Summit, or Lookout Lifts. If you’re new to skiing or riding, start at Bear Den Lodge to build confidence, then take The Notch to explore the Main Side.
Speaking of Bear Den, the park on Flying Squirrel is back! Come check out all the new natural snow features including some boxes!
