I went to Wildcat today. Curiosity, I guess. They have very limited terrain open. Lynx was closed which was nuts to me. That's a core manmade groomer that already had bare spots... super bad sign.
Basically only two paths down from the summit and that's it.
Mixed bag on what was open, some spots had softened and were OK (not exactly packed powder, but skiable) and other areas were unworkable sheet ice. Spent a lot of time carving decent soft snow and then sliding 20 feet and then carving again. Rinse and repeat all the way down the mountain.
The biggest shocker to me was how melted out it is at 4,000 feet. Bare everywhere. Looks like my front yard. Feels much more like 10 April than 10 March.
No one is gonna be skiing Wildcat's legendary soft bumps in April this season. They will be shutting down soon if they don't get a bunch more snow or we get another warm cutter. The manmade trails are already thin.
