Snow conditions today are firm groomers with early morning crust softening into packed powder by midday, thanks to an overnight low of 29.7°F. While the snowpack is currently below seasonal average by nearly 29 inches, the surface remains rideable and well-maintained.
Looking ahead, skiers and riders can expect 1.6 inches of fresh snow in the next 24 hours, with totals building to over 3 inches by the 72-hour mark. A promising system later in the week could deliver up to 16 inches in the next five days. If you're debating whether to hit the slopes today — it’s worth it if you enjoy carving on groomers and catching the mountain before the storm cycle builds. Conditions are stable, and the upcoming snow will only improve the ride.
