Team report
Sunday, March 8
Mont Sutton is ready to welcome you, even though it hasn’t been sure what to expect these past few days due to warmer temperatures and rain. Don’t let Mother Nature’s whims keep you from enjoying a day of skiing or snowboarding before school breaks end and it’s back to work.
Lifts scheduled to operate today
IIo, II, IV, VII, and the magic carpet according to regular hours.
Spring-like conditions.
No grooming scheduled due to temperatures and to protect the surfaces.
However, some corrective measures are planned near the boarding/disembarking areas this morning.
Higher temperatures and rainfall have caused some icy patches, which end up in exposed areas
There will therefore be packed snow and patches of ice in places at the start; fine granular snow, wet and sticky snow will follow on firm bases and bumps. Please be careful and watch out for bare spots areas here and there.
The temperature at 5 a.m. was 9 degrees with intermittent rain and drizzle in places and gusts of wind. The mercury is expected to drop in the afternoon.
The chalets that are open are Altitude 400 (main chalet), Altitude 840 with food service, and 680 as a refuge only.
IMPORTANT! To be reviewed depending on the weather.
Alpine hiking trails will be reserved for experts this morning due to the very hard packed and slickly surface. However, the trails will be accessible to all in the afternoon as conditions soften.
The alpine touring trails are all open, with the exception of the FarWest. See the trail map, schedules and link to purchase passes and tickets at montsutton.com/alpinetouring
**Changes are always possible after patrol inspection and some trail segments may remain closed. Also, at your arrival, check the daily report: it will show you which trails have been groomed
