\nWith March Break now in the rearview mirror, the slopes are much quieter, but the conditions remain fantastic.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n\n
\nWe\u2019re seeing a colder northwest flow of air that has essentially shut down the spring melt for the time being. The average snow depth remains a solid 78 cm<\/b>, with just under 300 centimetres of natural snow<\/b> falling on the mountain so far this season. This marks the second year in a row of above-normal snowfall.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n\n
\nTemperatures will moderate back above freezing during the day Tuesday through Thursday, so expect firm, machine-groomed granular surfaces early in the morning<\/b>, quickly softening by midday.\nA frontal system will bring rain back to the region on Thursday, followed by a much colder, but brighter Friday. Bluebird skies will return to end the week but watch for icy conditions thanks to the rain and the sharp swing in temperature.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n\nThis Weekend\u2026 24h Blue MTN<\/h2>\n
\nCome celebrate the last weekend of March with live music, family games, midnight pizza, a sunrise breakfast, and around-the-clock relay skiing.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n\n
\nIt\u2019s the 8th annual 24h Blue MTN charity event<\/b>, and the forecast looks great.\n \nLooking ahead, early signs point to a pattern shift as we move into April. Warmer air will gradually take over across southern Ontario, setting the stage for classic spring skiing and snowboarding. Soft turns, slushy afternoons, and, of course, the return of the annual pond skim on April 4th.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n \nTuesday:<\/b> Mostly cloudy and a little milder. West winds at 20 km\/h. High +3\u00b0C \nThis marks the final ski weather report of the season.
\nSaturday starts on the cool side with scattered flurries, but the trough quickly passes by afternoon allowing for the temperature to moderate. It won\u2019t be nearly as cold for the overnight ski shift Saturday night. Skies should clear out on Sunday, with milder temperatures approaching +5\u00b0C.\nYours truly will be your emcee for this fun-filled family event\u2014so come say hi!\n
