Ski Conditions Update
Week 06 [Jan 30 – Feb 05] was characterized by big alpine skiing in the early part of the week, followed by epic storm skiing deep in the trees towards the later half of the trip. Our Safari program unfolded perfectly with a bluebird day exchange deep in the heart of our tenure. The last few days of skiing/riding are proving to be considerably more challenging due to the massive incoming snow storms and a recent warming of temperatures. This has resulted in some down days and limited terrain choices in the last two days. The good news is that the huge snowfall accumulation has significantly increased our snowbase and will pay dividends for the rest of the season. The photos below were captured at Last Frontier Heliskiing during the past week. Check out our daily ski reports [here].
