Message from Sierra: Since the weekend already started early with St. Patrick's Day, why not keep it going and come spend your Friday shredding Sierra + working off all those green beers?! With NOAA forecasting a high around 50 and light winds, the cords are going to be prime for playing mid-morning, so go ahead and sleep that extra 30 minutes you lost last night at the Pub! When you make it to the mountain, cruise down our groomer's choices of Broadway and Lower Powderhorn for some mellow turns. We're getting started at 9 am spinning 9 lifts with 45 open trails, 32 cords, and 7 parks including the halfpipe. Highways 50, 88, + 89 are all open + clear. Join us tomorrow for another sunny spring day and the Vans High Standard Series! This competition is strictly about style, bringing snowboarding back to basics by rewarding riders for creativity + self expression w/ strict guidelines against rotations over 720.
