Eldora Mountain Resort is holding steady with a snowpack depth of 28 inches, though this remains well below the seasonal average, currently down by approximately 50.8%. Overnight temperatures dipped to 27°F, preserving conditions on the mountain, but no new snowfall was recorded in the last 24 hours. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) sits at 5.6 inches, suggesting a decent base but not quite the robust setup typical for this time of year. For skiers, the groomed runs will likely offer the most consistent conditions today, as the lack of fresh powder means off-piste terrain may feel firm or tracked out.

Looking ahead, the forecast brings some optimism, with 0.19 inches of precipitation predicted in the next 24 hours and up to 2 inches over the next five days. While this isn’t a major storm cycle, it could refresh the surface and improve overall conditions. Eldora’s proximity to Boulder makes it a convenient option for quick turns, but regulars may notice the snowpack’s underperformance compared to historical norms. For the dedicated skier, keeping an eye on upcoming storms could yield better opportunities later in the week. Today, dress warmly, consider earlier runs for the best groomed conditions, and enjoy the mountain’s charm despite the subdued seasonal snowfall.
