Summary
Overnight temperatures held steady at 39.4°F, keeping conditions relatively warm for December. The current snowpack depth sits at just 5 inches—dramatically below average, down nearly 81%. While terrain remains limited and some trails may be closed or marginal, there's a promising shift in the forecast: over 11 inches of fresh snow is expected in the next 72 hours, with an additional 11 inches projected over the next five days. This could provide a much-needed boost for base depth and open more terrain as the holiday week continues.
Local headlines point toward cautious optimism. Regional forecasts highlight a powder push across Utah, with Sundance poised to catch part of the Christmas Eve snowfall. Skiers and riders should keep an eye on rapidly changing conditions, as this new snow could improve coverage but may also bring variable surfaces and limited grooming. Even with the current shallow base, the incoming storm offers hope for a more festive and rideable holiday week on the mountain. Bundle up, check current lift and trail openings, and be ready to celebrate the season with some much-needed fresh tracks.
