Snow Reporter Comments: 01-12 Noon update: Looks like the early birds got the best conditions of the day, as the predicted warmer temps and moisture have settled in at the Village level. The snow is soft, but waterproof layers are recommended.01-12 8AM update: We had a bonus 1/2" of fresh snow overnight which is a welcome sight. Today, we really have a mixed bag of weather in our forecast with every element mentioned. Snow, rain, wind, sun, clouds, you name it and you may see it today. Currently, it's cloudy and very breezy with a bit of a wind chill. The groomers are feeling soft and groovy this morning as temps are just above freezing. There's lots of new terrain to explore, so come on up for mellow Monday rides. Cedar Park will be closed today, but our terrain offering will remain the same! Join us next weekend for some fun events: Deschutes Brewery will be here for Red Chair Weekend serving up cold ones at the snow bar! We also have the annual torchlight parade and fireworks show at 6pm on Saturday (Weather permitting).
