Summary
Snow conditions are firm and variable, with groomed stretches near the lifts and icy sections developing through the day. The snow is thin compared to seasonal norms, currently sitting at 66% below average for this time of year.
The 5-day forecast shows a modest 6 inches of snow on the way, but accumulation over the next 24 hours will be minimal. With overnight temperatures dipping to 29.5°F and limited fresh powder, conditions remain best for intermediate skiers who prefer corduroy over powder runs. While the snowpack is shallow, the views of the Olympic Mountains from the ridge remain unbeatable. If you're eager to get some turns in and don’t mind a firm surface, it’s worth heading up—just temper expectations and bring your rock skis.
