Cascade Mountain opened Saturday with good conditions considering there has not been much of a measurable snowfall this season. The high speed quad and a double chair ferried skiers to the top. Hours are 9am-430pm Saturday and Sunday. Cascade will also be open Tuesday and Thursday this week with regular hours resuming next weekend. The noise of snow makers rumbled as skiers and riders carved turns down the North Wall. Ski Patrol assisted many injured skiers and riders on opening day. Later in the day Manitou a large wide run opened.
Even the parking lot had snow perhaps a result of high winds Friday. Snow piles were at least five feet high in some spots. Cascade has nearly 500 snow guns.
The weather forecast looks like some storms are on their way. There is a 70% chance of 2 inches Monday and a bigger storm set to arrive Wednesday.
We reported Devils Head opened in a previous post. We stand corrected. They will open Thursday.
