Today’s Hermitage Club snow report: Hermitage Club received 0 inches of new snow overnight, with a current base depth of 9 inches.
Snow conditions are firm and groomed, with some icy spots due to the below-freezing overnight low of 21.8°F. The snowpack is just over 55% of the historical average for this time of year, so expect thin coverage and variable terrain, especially off-piste.
Looking ahead, there’s no significant snowfall expected in the next 24–72 hours, and temps will remain seasonally cold, preserving current surface conditions. While the mountain is open and groomers are doing their best, today may be better suited for intermediate skiers looking to carve on hardpack rather than powder hounds. Still, with renewed energy at the Club and recent developments, it’s a great time to experience the mountain’s revitalized vibe—even if the snow isn't at its peak.
