Summary
Following a recent storm that dropped a whopping 28 inches of snow, the slopes are officially open—marking the earliest start to ski season in 13 years. Despite an above-freezing overnight low of 38.8°F, conditions on the mountain remain rideable, though the snowpack depth sits at just 2 inches, significantly below average by nearly 67%. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) of 1.6 indicates wetter snow, ideal for laying a solid early base, but more snowfall is needed to fully open terrain across the resort.
On-mountain developments are adding to the buzz: a brand-new chairlift is now operational, giving skiers and riders faster access to freshly groomed runs. Lee Canyon, recently acquired by a major Southwest ski conglomerate, is preparing for major expansions and improvements, signaling an exciting future for Las Vegas' alpine scene. While a brief skirmish last weekend made headlines, resort staff are focused on delivering a safe and festive experience. With no major storms forecasted in the immediate days ahead, now is the perfect time to take advantage of clear skies, uncrowded trails, and early season turns just an hour from the Strip.
