Summary
The current snowpack stands at 25 inches—just over 20 inches below the seasonal average—creating thinner coverage in off-piste areas. Despite this, groomed runs remain skiable, with early-morning corduroy offering the best experience. With a Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) of 6.2 inches, conditions are decent but could use a refresh.
Good news is on the horizon: a light snow system is expected to move in, bringing approximately 2.57 inches of new snow over the next 72 hours and an additional 2 inches in the 5-day outlook. While this won't fully replenish the base, it should freshen things up for the holiday week, especially on higher elevation trails. No major local headlines are impacting operation, making this Christmas Eve an ideal time for a relaxed day on the slopes. Expect spring-like conditions in the afternoon, so wax those skis accordingly and stay up to date with on-mountain alerts for terrain changes.
