Wildcat
If we powder alerted man-made snow, then you would have been hearing regularly while we powdered up the Black Cat, Starr Line, and Tomcat Schuss, among a bunch of other Wildcat Trails! But this week we've been getting some shots of the real thing --- light little clippers to freshen up the groomers. Well, yesterday we picked up about 3-4 inches, which was great & then it kept on snowing so we've awoken to another 4-5 inches! It all adds up to just over a foot of new snow this week, 7-9" over the last 24 hrs. There's some breeziness going on, so call ahead before you come up if you're looking for the Quad at 1-888-SKI WILD x217 (it's good to go at this time, but that can change!). Remember the Tomcat Triple dumps you out where all the best snow is anyway & still gives you over 1,500 feet of vertical!
We're still fired up for a good long Spring, as we head into March --- typically a snowy month here at the Cat! So come on up & SKI!
Even if you've done and bought a season pass at another mountain, that's okay . . . we're giving you guys $29 tickets on Fridays, starting March 3rd!
