Summary
As of January 1, 2026, Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is officially open for its 47th season, and while the snowpack is currently a shallow 2 inches—about 85% below average—the forecast brings hope. Skiers can expect 2.15 inches of fresh snow today with a much more promising 13 inches predicted over the next 5 days. Overnight temperatures held at a mild 39.6°F, which means snow quality may vary with elevation, but early risers should find the best turns in shaded areas and higher runs. The Snow Water Equivalent sits at 1.9 inches, offering a reasonable base for groomed trails.
Despite the lean snowpack, the resort is buzzing with energy. A new ski-in, ski-out bar is drawing après-ski crowds, and low-cost lift tickets are helping locals and visitors alike enjoy the slopes during an affordability crisis. With double the snowfall compared to last year already reported, locals remain optimistic that this season will deliver. The recent passing of beloved ski instructor Marcel Barel is felt on the mountain, but his legacy lives on in every beginner’s first run. Whether you're carving early season turns or just sipping cocoa at the summit, there's no better place to ring in 2026.
