Summary
The trails are open and skiable, though caution is advised—current snowpack sits at a modest 8 inches, significantly below average for this time of year (down more than 56%). While the snow is light and dry with a Snow Water Equivalent of 2.2", trail grooming crews have worked diligently to maintain a decent base on high-traffic loops. Classic and skate skiing are both possible, though expect variable conditions in shaded or heavily-treed areas.
No new snowfall is in the immediate forecast, so skiers should be prepared for firm, fast surfaces in the early hours with some softening by mid-afternoon. With no major local news events impacting access or safety, it's an ideal day for a peaceful glide among frosted spruce and birch. Dress warm, bring extra layers, and consider an early start to enjoy the best conditions. Keep an eye on the sky—any sudden flurries could improve the base later in the week.
