    Not looking good everyone, the website has only the loop and rocket Open. Let’s hope for a little snow tomorrow.

    Today, Wednesday it’s not looking good. Bristol Mountain is in the death throes. The oak trees have littered the runs with their late dropped leaves, the brown dirt is pushing through the snow, and they were unable to groom last night. I can’t see Southern Cross lasting another day. Milky Way...

    Fantastic photographs! I especially like the one from lower galaxy, although all three are nice. Concerning the pricing, I always purchased a six pack or 12 pack for my adult children and passed them out as Christmas gifts. I’ll have to take a long look at it and decide if it’s worth it or not...

    It’s full-blown spring skiing on Friday, the early arrivals were treated with gleaming corduroy as it froze last night. No galaxy chair today, some people were complaining, but all the runs are open and if you don’t mind a very small hike, you can do universe and Northstar. Northstar might not...

    It was 50° when I hit the slopes today. They let us on about 12 minutes before nine. Absolute spring, corn snow conditions. All the major runs are fine and have loosened up considerably in the first hour. Lower Northstar was not groomed and had some serious 6 inch ruts in it, but as long as you...

    Yes, it’s gonna be warm all week, but I’m sure we will be skiing this weekend. I took today off but plan on heading there tomorrow and I’ll write about it. Spring skiing can be a blast. That’s for sure.😎⛷️

    Spring is here! It took but half an hour at most for the Galaxy chair runs to get kicked up into pretty good chop as did Rocket on the sides. The moguls are non-existent as the grass and rocks are coming through under the Galaxy chair. Comet held up very well and was really fun. The backside...

    The conditions at Bristol can be described in one word, sticky. About 2 inches of powder on top of a very firm base, some might caught icy, but it’s not really. You have to stay on your edges or the sticky snow will catch you but the sun is out. Things are softening up

    Here is your Friday update for Bristol Mountain. The first few runs were easy with about a half inch of fluff on top of the groom. But soon became chopped up into as one person on the chair said “margarita crushed ice snow.” It will be tough on the wax on your skis and your edges, but it’s still...

    Thanks for the photograph, Evan. The morning report from Bristol today: it is pretty soft, with some extremely firm base under foot. If you know how to turn, even just a little bit, you’ll have absolutely no issues skiing today at Bristol Mountain. Many of us are going down Northstar and...

    Today, Monday was as one chair rider said, "near hero snow" conditions. with temps in the mid-twenties the late winter sun was glistening on the groomed runs as about 200 or so skiers lined up for the opening bell. Comet, Rocket, Meteor, and Galaxy were all soft on top and solid underfoot and...

    OK, here I am, Charlie A. Sunday, March 2 was flat out cold and the conditions were somewhat icy, but not undoable. After the early bird "groomers only" crowd left there was absolutely no lines, just the Brigade kids and their coaches. The grooming had improved from Saturday and most of the ruts...
