Current conditions are firm and groomed, with some thin coverage in exposed areas. Despite the clear skies and mild overnight low of 30.7°F, the snowpack remains over 70% below seasonal average, so expect early spring-like conditions on the slopes.
Looking ahead, there’s hope on the horizon—forecasts predict up to 10 inches of new snow over the next five days, which could significantly improve terrain quality. While the base is still shallow, today is still worth a visit for beginner and intermediate skiers looking for affordable, uncrowded runs. Come prepared for variable coverage and watch for icy spots. With the cheapest lift tickets in the West, Badger Mountain offers a budget-friendly day on the slopes while we await the next snow cycle.
