Snow Reports
One month before our skiing begins at Great Northern and the staff is busy preparing for what looks to be another exciting winter. We have been watching the snow fall steadily on top of GREAT NORTHERN MOUNTAIN and are anxiously waiting to get up there to make the first turns of the season.
Please keep revisiting our website for an up-to-date SNOW REPORT that we will post in mid-December

El Niño? What El Niño. With pre season fears approaching fever pitch in the minds and hearts - and for many, memory - we have yet to experience the forecast dreaded effects of a so called warm drought. As each day dawns and we make our way into Great Northerns terrain we marval at the bountiful gifts the snow gods are laying at our feet. If this is El Niño then I say... you better come get some!

It's been a great week of skiing with small amounts of new snow each day to keep things fresh. It had been getting a bit warmer but staying cool enough to allow for great conditions.
Snowpack: 275 cm
This week's snow: 15 cm

Light, dry and deep. It has been one of the best starts to the season we have seen in years. After a day of overcast weather the skies parted and we have been skiing bluebird waist deep powder! With an average snowpack of just below 3 m we are able to ski lines that we can't normal touch until Feb. Life is good and the skiing is better at Great Northern right now!

SWEEEEET! That's about the only way to describe the situation up here. The numbers don't lie --- winter is happening big time! We're in full swing building cat roads, and just barely shoveling fast enough to keep the lodge from disappearing under all the big fat flakes that keep on falling. Yesterday's trip up the mountain revealed over 2.5 meters of settled snow on the ground already (yup, that's a lot!) and it's just begging to be skied! Yeah, pack your snorkels, 'cause it's looking DEEP and getting deeper, with the forecast saying nothing but snow, snow, and more snow over the next week. What else can I say? Our arms may get tired from the shoveling, but our legs are strong and ready to lay down some fat powder turns --- and who could ask for a better Christmas present than that...
