Summary
The base depth remains at a slim 1 inch, though notably this is still 183% above average for this date — a testament to snowmaking efforts. Snow conditions are marginal, with heavily groomed, thin coverage across open trails and some icy patches in the shaded areas.
No fresh snowfall is expected over the next 24–72 hours, and mild temperatures are likely to persist, continuing to challenge the snow base. While die-hard skiers may appreciate a few early-season turns and the novelty of skiing in a T-shirt, today’s conditions are best suited for beginners or those pairing short ski sessions with other resort activities. For those seeking deep powder or a full-day shred, it might be worth holding off until colder weather returns.
