A late-May surprise has dusted Pebble Creek Ski Area with 1 inch of fresh snow overnight, bringing a brief but welcome refresh to the slopes. However, with a snowpack depth holding steady at just 1 inch—nearly 87% below average—spring conditions dominate the mountain. Overnight lows hovered around 38.5°F, keeping the new snow light but wet, especially on lower elevations. Skiers can expect limited terrain with patchy coverage, suitable mainly for die-hard spring enthusiasts or those seeking a scenic ride rather than deep powder turns.

Despite the dwindling snowpack, there’s plenty of energy in the air at Pebble Creek. Big changes are underway as a newly installed "Magic Carpet" conveyor lift—reportedly one of the longest in the country—marks a significant upgrade ahead of the 2024-25 season. Excitement is also building after YouTube star Shay Carl’s recent purchase of the resort, signaling bold new leadership and fresh momentum. While the current skiable terrain is minimal, the buzz around upcoming developments and a promising forecast for next winter has spirits high among locals and visitors alike. Keep an eye out—Pebble Creek’s transformation is just getting started.
