We saw a mixture of Spring and Winter weather this weekend as we hosted the 22nd Annual Brundage Mountain Winter Games.

Special thanks to the McCall Ski Racing Team (MSRT) and Sterling Savings Bank for making the races and the awards ceremony possible.

We’ve included a few photo highlights below. All races were photographed by our friends at LMP Photography. You can view and purchase any of those photos by following this link.

Brundage Mountain Resort is gearing up for its most exciting Spring Break yet by offering fun on-snow events and two chances for Kids 17 & under to ski for free.

Many nearby public schools have Spring Break vacations scheduled from March 26-March 30, 2012. Brundage Mountain is hosting family-friendly events on the weekends before and after that Spring Break period. (more…)

We had CLASSIC Spring snow conditions today, and there are hundreds of smiling faces up here to prove it.

Why is it that days like today make us SO happy?

Let’s take a quick look at the top 5 things to LOVE about Spring skiing… (more…)

Now I know there are some people out there that know this mountain like the back of their hand.  So I have come up with a little test to see how well you know our groomed runs.  There is a set of five pictures of different corduroy from different spots on the mountain.  Lets see if you can identify each run in the photo.  Look at the lay of the land, the slope of the terrain and even the trees in the background for a hint.  Those that can identify where these photos were taken can truly proclaim themselves the Corduroy Kings/Queens of Brundage Mountain.

When you read the words ‘hand-me-down’ and ‘leftover’, what images come to mind?

Our culture feeds on the idea that new is better. You can buy ‘new car scent’ to make your car smell less worn. Some people will buy a new car even when the one they have runs perfectly well, just because it’s starting to feel ‘old’.

We want to be fresh and modern and first, and when it comes to our time on the ski slopes, things are no different.

I’m not saying I purposely stay away when nature decides to drop a fresh blanket of fluff on the mountain. But, I have also learned to look at that leftover powder with a little bit more affection. (more…)

Leap year is serving up its bonus day today.  Known as leap day, Feb. 29 is an added day that seems to magically show up on the calendar at four-year intervals.

Like that “extra” hour in the fall, when clocks are turned back at the end of daylight saving time, this extraneous day begs for some special attention. It cries out for something to make it more worthwhile than those other 365 days we get every year.

So how did you spend your leap year bonus day? We spent ours enveloped in a soft blanket of 8″ of fresh powder. (more…)

We had an action-packed weekend here at Brundage Mountain with races, freestyle events, and most importantly, FRESH POWDER.

The snow didn’t make much of a show in our snow box, but it made a BIG impact on the mountain.

Some aggressive winds showed up Saturday along with fresh snow. That means we were on a mission to find out where all the dry, fluffy powder was piling up.

For some, the mission was futile. (more…)

Competitors of all types will be on the mountain this weekend, contesting for some sort of supremacy, or in some cases, just for fun!

We’ve got three different events happening this weekend on the front side, and whether you’d like to participate or spectate (or even, evacuate), here is some info to help you enjoy, or avoid, the weekend’s events.

24 inches of fresh snow in 6 days is enough to warm a powder hound’s mid-winter heart. Here’s a look at the conditions at Brundage on a mid-week powder day.
