Murky and cold. Limited terrain, have to stay on groomers. Keep expectations low, lessens disappointment.

1/17/26 Picture taken on the backside. They are in desperate need of more snow and I would highly recommend staying away. 

1/18/26. Save your time, money and sanity until they get more snow. Where there is coverage, it is as pictured (bulletproof ice). 

01/12/2026 The official snow report this morning stated the groomers are "soft and groovy". That is a falsehood. The groomers are mostly icy and slippery hardpack with random piles of slush accompanied by a steady rain, high winds, and flat light. You should know that the official snow report commentary here is typically more of a sales pitch than a factual accounting of conditions and often borders on being just plain dishonest. Today is a great example of that. Keep that in mind before you head up.

This is an awesome mountain when the conditions are right but they definitely need more snow as many of the "open" runs are minefields of rocks, dirt patches, tree tops, solid ice, and bramble. I'm talking groomers here. Off piste is even worse and should be avoided by all except true experts (unless you want to go shopping for a new board or set of skis).

That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Better than expected! Good weather, wish there was more coverage but for what’s available it’s a good time!

A 38” base? Lmfao! Maybe like 10” on top, blown into the trees! Don’t waste your money, go somewhere else, you’ll just wreck your gear!

Magic Carpet closed today, rainy, what’s left in the ground is ice. Hard and slippery! Resort looks a muddy mess, no crowd though
