A chilly night with temperatures dipping to 17.3°F has helped preserve what little snow remains at Timber Ridge, but with a snowpack depth of just 3 inches—about 64% below average—skiing and snowboarding operations remain on hold. However, there’s good news on the horizon: a fresh 2 inches of snowfall is expected over the next five days, with nearly half an inch forecasted in the next 24 hours, giving hope to winter sports enthusiasts.

With additional snow in the forecast, there’s cautious optimism that Timber Ridge could reopen its skiing and snowboarding operations soon. Stay tuned for updates as the weather shifts, and in the meantime, bundle up and enjoy the tubing lanes for an adrenaline-filled winter adventure!
