Summary
While the mountain boasts its signature scenery and well-groomed runs, the snowpack is notably thin—measuring just 2 inches, which sits over 90% below average for this time of year. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE), a key indicator of snow quality and moisture, hovers at a modest 0.9, signaling drier-than-normal conditions across the terrain. Despite these challenges, ski crews are working hard to maintain primary trails, and snowmaking operations are ongoing to enhance coverage where nature hasn’t delivered.
Looking ahead, a modest weather system is expected to bring around 2 inches of fresh snow over the next five days—offering a potential refresh for the slopes. Though off-piste and backcountry options remain limited, groomed runs are open and provide the best experience for early-season turns. No major updates from local news sources today, so it’s all about the mountain. Riders are advised to check lift status before arrival and stick to marked trails for the best—and safest—experience.
