Conditions Report
Good morning! After some serious storm day riding on Saturday, we’re looking forward to a much calmer day today. We have a high cloud cover, so visibility will be much better, and light winds this morning. Winds are forecasted to pick up some this afternoon, but shouldn’t be enough to affect lift operations.
Chair 2 only opened briefly yesterday, and our Snow Safety team still has a bunch of work to do there this morning, but look for great riding off that lift when it opens about noon today. Please be aware they are likely to use some explosives as part of their mitigation efforts. Please do not cross any rope lines and respect closure signs.
About 5″ of new snow fell during the day yesterday, adding to the 5″ or so we got earlier in the week. There’s lots of great riding out there for you today!
Live music in the Afterglow today is Adrienne McVey from 3-6pm.
Ski & snowboard rentals are available this weekend.
Note for backcountry users: We are closed to inbounds uphill travel. Access to Mt Gordon-Lyon will be through the normal trail, starting from the hiking kiosk in the upper parking lot across from the lodge. New this season, access to Ship Creek will start from the Marston Trailhead (across from the lower parking lot) and continue behind Chair 1. We will have signage and a rope line up this week to mark this route.

Road Conditions
Updated: Sunday February 15th
Arctic Valley Road is being plowed this morning. Please exercise caution, and note that pullouts have not been sanded. AWD/4WD vehicles are always recommended. Please drive smart!
Below is the current schedule for military live fire exercises on Arctic Valley Road:
For most exercises, road guards will allow traffic to flow every 20-30 minutes in each direction. For some exercises, the waits may be 30-40 minutes. The road (unless noted above) should not be ‘closed’. If road guards are communicating longer wait times than those listed above, or telling you the road is closed, please call JBER Range Control at 907-384-6230 and report the issue. They will work to make sure the units conducting training are following the road access rules.
