After a chilly overnight low of 15.9°F, the slopes received a modest but welcome 2 inches of fresh powder, bringing the snowpack depth to 4 inches—still 17% below average, but improving. Conditions are groomed and rideable across the open trails, and with another 3.87 inches of snow forecast over the next 72 hours (and up to 4 inches in the 5-day outlook), skiers and boarders can look forward to a gradual refresh of terrain—just in time for New Year's weekend.
