Snow comment:
We have an honest snow update for you - We’ll be spinning the Temple and Downhill tows Friday and the lodge is open Friday/Saturday night with more updates to come for Saturday. We’ve had bunch a rain but, it has snowed 8-12 cm of fluffy snow on top of 5 cm of moist snow but you can still ski back to the lodge! Theres a chance more snow will be coming from the SE later tonight so keep snow dancing. Downhill tow will be closed two towers from the top but the Lower Bills traverse is still on. There’s about 25-30 cm of wind blown snow in Lower Bill’s Basin, but Upper Bills will be closed. We have reports that the mingha will be ON for backcountry skiing access.
Goodslift 8.30-10.30 and 4-6.
