How much snow? Brundage is reporting 12 inches of packed snow at the base and 60 inches at the summit.

Why such a difference in snow depths? The snow level has been right at Brundage’s base area, so it’s been getting rain and snow, at the summit it’s been nearly all snow.

Will all the lifts be open? It depends. BlueBird Quad, Easy Street and Lakeview chairlifts will operate on Friday, possibly others if more snow arrives.

Any first-day deals? Yes. All lift tickets for the entire mountain sold on Friday will come with a $15-off coupon for a future Brundage lift ticket.
