SKI REPORT
December 26 2024
As the winter sports season continues, the latest snowfall observations and forecasts promise thrilling conditions for ski enthusiasts. The Pacific Northwest, particularly Washington and Oregon, is seeing notable snow accumulation. Washington ski resorts near Lone Pine and Mount Crag have reported 18 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours, with the base depths at 56 and 64 inches, respectively. Both resorts anticipate mixed conditions of rain and snow, with a breezy atmosphere, while Swift Creek follows closely with 17 inches of new snow, and a forecast of heavy snow adding to a significant 94-inch base.
Oregon ski areas are not far behind, with Clear Lake receiving 10 inches of fresh snow, enhancing its modest 17-inch base. However, the forecast for the next 24-48 hours paints a different picture, with Annie Springs in Oregon preparing for a noteworthy 75 inches of snow accompanied by blustery conditions. This could significantly impact the skiing landscape, offering abundant fresh powder. Summit Lake and Diamond Lake are also on the watch, with forecasts predicting over 70 inches of snow, ensuring that the slopes will be in prime condition for both avid and casual skiers.
The heavy snowfall is not limited to these states. Idaho's Mores Creek Summit is gearing up for 46 inches of fresh snow, and Wyoming's Snake River Station is expecting 39 inches, promising excellent conditions for visitors to these areas. Skiers and snowboarders should be prepared for potential travel disruptions due to the heavy snowfall, but the powder-rich slopes will be well worth the effort. With such impressive snow totals, now is the time to hit the slopes and enjoy some of the best skiing conditions of the season. Remember to check local reports and stay safe on the mountain!
