SKI REPORT
January 4 2025
As we head into another exciting week of skiing, the latest observations and forecasts are indicating some significant snowfall across the nation that will delight winter sports enthusiasts. In California, the Tahoe region has seen a healthy dusting of snow, with Ward Creek #3 reporting 12 inches, and both Css Lab and Independence Lake boasting 11 inches in the last 24 hours. Ski resorts like Squaw Valley and Heavenly Valley have also received about 8 inches, laying the groundwork for some excellent slope conditions. Over on the East side, the Mt Rose Ski Area in Nevada is also showing promising conditions with an 8-inch snowfall and a generous 56-inch base.
Moving away from California, ski aficionados may want to turn their attention to Alaska. The forecast there is calling for substantial snowfall with Grandview and Upper Tsaina River expecting an impressive 82 inches, creating potentially epic conditions for the daring skiers and snowboarders. Similarly, Sugarloaf Mtn is not far behind with a forecasted 79 inches. These Alaskan ski spots are surely going to be a powder paradise in the coming days.
Lastly, it's worth monitoring the situation in Utah where the snow forecast predicts a significant winter wallop. Ski resorts near sensors like Hardscrabble and Lookout Peak are anticipating 14 inches of new snow, with heavy snowfall expected to continue. This could significantly impact popular ski destinations such as Park City and Deer Valley, offering fresh powder for all skill levels. As always, be sure to check the latest road conditions and resort updates before heading out to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip to the mountains.
