Summary

Conditions across the mountain today are variable, with groomed runs dominating lower elevations and firmer, packed snow up high. Temperatures dipped to 21.9°F overnight, keeping the snow surface fast and carving-ready, though icy patches may develop as the day progresses.

While no fresh powder fell overnight, the 5-day forecast is promising, calling for 12 inches of new snow over the next 120 hours. Though today may lack new snowfall, the groomers are in good shape and the mountain is skiing well for those who enjoy hardpack and corduroy. With a decent base and more snow on the horizon, today is still worth a ride—especially if you’re looking to beat the weekend crowds before the next storm rolls in.
