Two Friday the 13ths in one winter? In this economy? In all seriousness, this might be the best Friday the 13th ever because SNOW IS COMING TONIGHT!! We are expecting 3-5” of new snow, with the potential for 8” up higher!!! It’s the perfect powder day setup for Passholder Day Saturday, with early lift access, apassholder Après party, and a free 25/26 passholder glass!* And with cold temperatures and snow returning to the forecast for the near future, now is a great time to get your 26/27 passfor next winter, and ski the rest of this Spring (Winter?) for free!
We’re skiing & riding on 35 trails today, with 4 lifts scheduled to spin. Groomers are truly the masters of the mountain this time of year, and they were out last night on 23 trails to lay down some lines and clean things up after the recent warm-up. While spring conditions are the prevalent surface today, snow coming in tonight will help us beef up our base, which is still plentiful on our snowmaking trails thanks to 170" of snow this season. That being said, it is Mid-march, and some variable spots are possible wherever you ski on the hill, so keep an eye out and make sure to take it slow if it’s your first time riding a run. The Plaza Park is getting re-groomed and re-tooled today for a weekend of jibbing and awesome park laps.
Temperatures will feel straight up wintry today compared to early this week, with mid-20s and low-30s, and sun, accompanied by a westerly breeze. Snow starts around 3pm and continues into the morning, with current NOAA forecasts showing 3”+ at the base and up to 8” at the top of the Sun Chair. Looking ahead, the weather this weekend looks like mid-winter, with an even deeper cold coming next week after a brief warm-up Monday. With several more weeks of skiing & riding, snag a Sunny Savings 3-Pack and ski 3 days at a discount anytime until the season ends.
Since it’s our second Friday the 13th in a row, I feel the need to provide a brief ranking of my top Friday the 13th movies, and the trails they remind me of at Bromley. In the #5 spot is Friday the 13th (the remake from 2009), a mashup of the original 3 movies in one, which reminds me of Lower Twister, as it’s a 3 in 1: Lower Twister is at once a double fall pitch down the liftline, a gnarly left side that is always full of surprises, and a gentle lower meadow that always has first tracks left to be had. #4 is Friday the 13th Part 2, the original sequel and template for the rest of the franchise, which reminds me of West Meadow, our pace car for cruisers on the Sun Mountain. 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason is the showdown we always wanted (it’s my #3), and for me, when I’m looking for a showdown, I head to Pabst Panic & Peril for a battle between rowdy steeps and bumped up glory. Second is Fri the 13th Part 4: Jason Lives (’86), and with its clever ending, it definitely matches up with Blue Ribbon, whose final steep drop always offers you a clever East Side Steeps conclusion. And my top spot goes to the OG, Friday the 13th (1980). Just like my favorite run Thruway, it’s the tried & true, a classic run with a classic view west towards Mt. Equinox and the Northshire.
Today will be nothing like the Friday the 13th movies, a sunny Friday on the slopes with a big March snowstorm coming in! Are you as excited for the snow as I am? You'd better be!
