Fresh snow on Schweitzer

7:18 a.m. January 9, 2018

By Schweitzer Snow Reporters Yesterday’s Run-Of-The-Day was Whiplash to Will's Runout, through Tower 19 Trees and out to Vagabond! Wow, that was fun! The snow was on the heavy side and changed consistency depending on elevation and sun or shade exposure. Overnight brought one-inch of new snow with a wintery mix at the lower elevations and granular snow starting at mid mountain. Lakeview and Snow Ghost trails should be a ton of fun! Go find the snow you want! With the MLK Holiday this weekend there will be tons going on! Be sure to join us for Northern Lights Fireworks Show, the Deschutes Woody Wagon will be here serving up their delicious brews all weekend and there will be plenty of live music! Be sure to book a room so you can enjoy the whole weekend. January is Learn to Ski & Snowboard Month and we have an amazing deal for those never-ever skiers or snowboarders out there!
