I was just told that due to warm weather and recent rain that Granite Peak will be closed from Tuesday, March 13th through Friday, March 16th.

They will be open on Saturday from 9-9 and Sunday from 9-4 though.

Just a heads up for anyone here that was planning on stopping there this week.

I planned a trip to Wausau for March 23-25 so I could get a couple more days of riding in before my season is totally over. Is it going to be just horrible conditions by then at Granite Peak? It seems like it would be nothing but slush (after witnessing Chestnut's closing weekend) but I've never been to Granite Peak before. Should I cancel the trip or just wait and see?

As of now they still plan on being open this weekend.

I know Central Board shop has their event going on.

I boarded most of the day & night this past Saturday/Sunday and conditions were pretty slow and rough. Too warm to even refreeze when the sun goes down. Corn. My base was almost solid brown each day I finished.

They are doing everything they can, but with weather conditions like this -

I don't see them being open much longer. It sucks, but they can't compete against mother nature.

Same here buddy. I put a thick coat of wax on the CC last night, took the bindings off, zip-lock'd everything up, bagged the board, and hung everything up in storage for the season.

Wish I could have gotten more out of the season, but mother nature can be a real bitch. Already looking forward to next season though.
