Today did get a little warm in the sun. It wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow is a little crusty to start

Closed again.Your telling me the lower lifts couldn't run?Dont buy it.
Sustained winds of 100 mph on Washington today with gusts higher than that. You don't buy that right across the street it's probably pretty nasty and perhaps unsafe to operate lifts?
Nothing running up high at Attatish or Cranmore today. Basically just the beginner chair at Cranmore.

Ragged (at much lower elevation) was also closed today due to high winds

I lucked out that the jet and bonnie spun at Jay today wow. I've got to work and catch up on stuff so skiing will have to wait till Monday. I've had a spectacular run since xmas but now its getting time for me to work and save

I'll bet the lower lifts could have run is all I'm saying.Ragged is the only one I've heard that didn't open at all.most areas had lots of windholds and some had very few if any summit lifts running but they certainly ran other lower lifts.I'm just saying they close way too easy and often from my view here at my desk.Which means nothing.Carry on.

Yup,but they along with 99% of the rest were open in some form.
Great! Hope you had a good time at Cannon yesterday.
Personally, if I was up there, I would have chosen to ski Attitash anyways given the conditions. I don't think many of the minimal midweek skiers that Cat gets this time of year would have minded that alternative either. The only people I feel a bit bad for are the dozen or so employees who lost their wages for the day.
As a Cannon skier, I'm not sure why you care anyhow.

Does the cat run the lifts later in spring or do they still shut down at 4:00?
Thinking about heading up with my 4 year old this weekend if crotched is wet. Between going to the dump, getter her fed and dressed, likley wouldn't be on hill until about 1:00.

I dont care but I do get to the cat at least once a year.So I cant have an opinion about a place unless I'm a regular skier there?I guess you never throw your 2 cents in about an area you dont ski often.Chill out.

According to the website, quad has been on hold all day? Anyone know if this is correct and the reason? Will it be running tomorrow?
The Cat recovered quite well from the poor midweek weather. The day started off with 3-5" on top of a manageable crust. It continued to improve throughout the day to have some really soft surfaces. Wish I was heading up tomorrow as it should be really good.

It happens. Lifts go until 4:15 today. Until 4:30 on vertical challenge day. And often 4:30 on closing day.
