Summary
With a snowpack depth significantly below average (down 100%), natural snow cover is extremely limited. Base areas are patchy, and higher elevations are relying heavily on snowmaking to maintain skiable terrain. Thanks to around-the-clock grooming efforts and cold snaps earlier this month, select trails remain open, but expect spring-like conditions with soft, granular snow throughout the day.
No fresh snowfall is in the forecast, and continued mild temperatures are likely to keep snowmakers on standby for the time being. As of this morning, trail counts are limited, and off-piste terrain is not recommended. While local news remains quiet with no major updates, resort visitors should stay informed on lift operations and monitor mountain advisories for any sudden weather changes. For the best experience, aim for morning runs while the surface is firmer; by midday, expect slushy spots and exposed areas. Bring the right gear, and savor the scenic views — winter may be off to a slow start, but the mountain spirit is alive and well.
