Summary
Following an unusually warm overnight low of 53.7°F, the mountain is seeing a complete absence of natural snowpack—100% below average for this time of year. As of this morning, ski operations remain limited, with no significant snowfall forecasted through the end of the week. While snowmaking efforts are ongoing, sustained warm temperatures have posed a challenge to maintaining even minimal skiable terrain. Guests are encouraged to check real-time lift and trail statuses before heading to the slopes.
Despite this lack of snow, Massanutten continues to shine as a premier four-season destination. Recent headlines spotlight the resort’s diverse offerings, including its massive indoor waterpark, scenic chairlift rides, and a full lineup of off-slope activities. Newly appointed General Manager Michael Hammes is steering the resort through this dry spell with a focus on expanding year-round experiences. From mountain biking and spa treatments to family-friendly fun like snow tubing (when conditions allow), there’s no shortage of adventure. While skiing takes a pause, Massanutten invites guests to embrace the mountain in all its winter beauty—without the need for snow.
