Thanks to beyond freezing temperatures on Friday and Saturday night, our team were able to fire up the fleet for the first two big nights of snowmaking of 2024.

Guns were blasting across the mountain each night to begin building the base, including in the Cruiser area and Friday Flat.

With 5cm of fresh snowfall up top and snow falling all the way down to the village, Mother Nature also joined the party on Saturday morning!
