Quality is not that great. Especially after the rain today. Not much ice as the temps have been too warm, but that will change with mixed weather the next week.

We’ve had the worst season I’ve seen in 15 years of going up to Springs. I’ve been up 12 times this season so far.

My best advice, if you’re still trying to honor your wish to you kids (which is awesome!) I’d either wait for the second week in March when temps are predicted to stay lower, allowing for more man made snow, or plan a trip up north to peek n peak or even further to Holiday Valley.

Happy to answer any other questions.

Ps. If you’re renting ski, hit up Jumpin Jake’s at 8am. Better skis/boots/boards/helmets and much cheaper prices.

Thanks, exactly the advice I was needing. Too bad it's been such a bad season.

We've been going to Hidden Valley all season and while the weather has been awful, they've been keeping things in pretty good condition there! From what I gather talking to others, it's in much better shape than 7 Springs. HV typically has less ice even during heavy snow years, I think it's just the geography or something there. Angel's Elbow and Comet had a few icy spots but that was it.

Saturday was thin and kinda slushy but it was still pretty ski-able, so that may be your best bet.
