Despite the lean coverage, Sundance’s charm remains intact with well-groomed trails open for eager skiers and riders. The slopes are holding up thanks to firm overnight freezes and a base bolstered by snowmaking efforts. While natural snow is in short supply, there's reason for optimism: the 5-day forecast is calling for 13 inches of fresh snow, which could dramatically improve conditions heading into the New Year holiday.
As anticipation builds for the final days of 2025, the region is buzzing with festive energy. Just a short drive north, Park City is drawing crowds with its vibrant après-ski culture and expansive terrain. Closer to home, Sundance will shine with seasonal celebrations of its own, as torchlight parades and fireworks are set to light up the Wasatch skies on New Year’s Eve. Visitors should prepare for variable conditions on-mountain but can look forward to an atmospheric, snow-dusted celebration as the next storm rolls in. Bundle up—Sundance’s winter magic is just getting started.
