Summary
While this is significantly below average—nearly 49% less than typical for late December—the mountain remains open, offering groomed trails and decent coverage for early risers looking to carve on packed powder. Recent colder temperatures have helped preserve existing snow, making for solid morning conditions, although some thin spots may emerge later in the day as skier traffic increases.
Looking ahead, Loveland skiers can expect a modest refresh, with light snow in the forecast—0.49 inches expected in the next 24 hours and a total of 1.75 inches over the next three days. An additional inch is predicted through the five-day outlook, which should help keep surfaces fresh and rideable. No major storm systems are on the immediate horizon, so now is a great time for those seeking shorter lift lines and crisp mountain air post-holidays. With no major news updates impacting access or operations, it’s business as usual on the mountain—bundle up, grab your gear, and enjoy the slopes while the crowds are still light.
