We had a recent opportunity to tour the new 25-acre Skytrac facility located in Tooele, Utah (just outside of Salt Lake City). This new facility includes all the fabrication, welding, plasma cutting, sand blasting, painting and manufacturing infrastructure for building Skytrac Lifts. The building is 130,000 square feet and shares some space with Leitner Poma and Prinoth Snowcats. Skytrac has…
We picked up another 6″ of snow this week. It wasn’t the big storm we have been looking for, but it definitely made the turns soft and fun over the last few days. Patrol was also able to open some additional trails on the frontside of the mountain and we continue to push out and work the NNB and MCS…
Thanks to the hard work of our Ski Patrol, MCS guides/operators, and our ski-packing crew, Mirkwood is now Open! This team diligently prepped this terrain during the month of December to be ready when the snow returned. The dense snow from last weekend’s storm was just enough to get a good portion of Mirkwood Basin open. Orcs, Mirkwood Bowl, Mirkwood…
Today is a perfect day after yesterday’s storm passed through. The high density snow set up well and is skiing great! Our grooming team has several trails tilled to perfection and the off piste areas are holding some very nice surfy and supportive snow. Enjoy!
Here’s to 2026 bringing us good times with family, friends, and powder days in No Name Basin!
Our grooming crew continues to impress each and every night. Not just Tyler for providing this amazing photo, but for how they continue to do a lot with just a little. While this hasn’t been the deepest start to winter for much of Colorado and the West, our team of snowcat operators are still out there working their magic after…
The mountain conditions are skiing well despite what you may see in the news about ski areas elsewhere in Colorado. We have seven lifts spinning with over fifty open trails to choose from. Our fantastic group of Snowcat Operators and incredible team of Ski Patrollers continue to do a lot with a little. Our location perched high on the Continental…
The Mtn Ops teams have been working the trails in No Name Basin. Our snowcat operators have been dozing snow along our fences and track-packing where we can. The Ski Patrol crew has been ski cutting, stepping creeks, and stringing boundary ropes. Our Lift Maintenance and Lift Ops departments have the load and unload areas ready to go and the…
Our Cat Skiing crew has been pushing out beyond the boundaries of our lift-served terrain. The guides and operators have been building our over the snow roads and conducting the initial rounds of avalanche mitigation work. Our mitigation strategies include the use of explosives, ski cutting/stepping, and utilizing the disruption roller. The roller disrupts shear plane layers within the snow…
