UPDATE 11/16 11:30PM

I rolled all of Sunset Hills and Highlan Glen tonight and while we did ultimately get snow, I think that storm set us back quite a bit. Sunset Hills should still provide some good skiing while Highland is still early season conditions with grass, bumps, and uneven trail. Some areas of Highland will ski better than others. About half way through the shift, the east wind came up drifting is occuring, especially at Sunset Hills. On the tail end of the wind, another wave of light snow picked up, so we may end up doing some more work early Saturday morning. Until we have a more substantial base, there is not much to be done about the drifts (if they get really bad we will shovel them), so bear with us. I think we managed to get most of this storms snow packed down before it moved.

We did not get enough snow to get going at Bridger Creek, unfortunately. Significant portions of the route were melted out before the rain, so I think the clock was reset on this one. The moisture did not help harden up the ground either.

Lets hope the rain changes to snow sooner than later today...the skiing has been great all week, if we get some snow out of this system, we will be out at Sunset Hills and Highland Glen. Assuming our old base that we skied all week survives, we should have a nice surface to work with. Highland and Sunset Skiers, please remember to park at the Softball fields, not at Lindley Center or in residential areas and elsewhere. I know the road crossing is a pain and is sketchy but its what the City has asked us to do.

We have Bridger Creek marked out (though signs are not up yet) and depending on how this storm plays out, hope to start packing there this weekend. Stay tuned. General reminders for Bridger Creek: No dogs and no bikes are allowed on the golf course and there is no foot traffic allowed on the ski trails. All parking is at the Golf Course Clubhouse off of McIllhatten Rd, not in the residential areas on Boylan Rd, please respect the residents of that neighborhood. Skiers parking on Boylan Rd is the only consistent complaint we have from Bridger Creek Golf Course so please only park at the Clubhouse!

Stay tuned for updates!
