Conditions on the mountain are mostly hard-packed with groomed terrain, with limited powder and some exposed areas, especially on steeper slopes and lower runs.
While today may not deliver deep powder turns, skiers and riders can expect manageable groomed runs thanks to cooler overnight temps of 26°F. The short-term forecast brings a light trace of 0.26 inches over the next 24 hours, ramping up slightly to 0.61 inches in 72 hours. However, the real excitement lies ahead, with a whopping 19 inches projected within five days. Today may be best suited for mellow laps and tuning up your gear, but with a storm system on the horizon, the Loup could be set for a much-needed snow revival soon. It's a quiet day on the mountain—but the weekend may be a different story.
