Summary
After a mild night with temperatures hovering around 37°F and a snowpack depth sitting at just 21 inches—more than 40% below average—skiers can look forward to a much-needed powder refresh. The next 24 hours promise 7+ inches of snow, with nearly 13 inches expected over the next three days and a total of 21 inches forecasted over the coming five days. This snowy reprieve could mark a turning point in what's been an unusually dry season, stoking optimism among powder chasers eager to make up for lost time.
Despite the incoming snow, mountain operations remain partially limited due to the shallow snow base and ongoing strike by ski patrollers, creating longer lift lines and reduced open terrain. Vail Resorts, which manages Park City Mountain, continues to face mounting pressure as labor disputes and early-season weather delays weigh heavily on both visitors and employees. Still, the resort's festive energy remains high following holiday torchlight parades and Santa sightings. With La Niña potentially influencing the remainder of the season, skiers and boarders should keep a close eye on upcoming storms—January could be gearing up for a much-needed comeback.
