Today’s Alpine Valley snow report: Alpine Valley received 0 inches of new snow overnight, and the base depth remains at a sparse 6 inches.
Summary
Snow conditions today are firm and icy, with minimal coverage and exposed patches due to a snowpack that is 100% below average for this time of year. Overnight lows dipped to a frigid 7.6°F, helping preserve the limited snow on groomed runs, but off-piste terrain is not recommended.
Looking ahead, no significant snowfall is expected over the next 72 hours, and with a snow water equivalent (SWE) of just 0.8 inches, conditions are unlikely to improve dramatically in the short term. While Alpine Valley is open and operating, skiing today is best suited for beginners sticking to groomed trails and those eager for any slope time despite the thin cover. Advanced skiers seeking powder or more challenging terrain may want to hold off for better conditions later in the season.
