A brisk night at Ski Charlie left us with a low of 26°F, and while the snowpack sits at 4 inches—just 33% of the seasonal average—conditions remain rideable for those eager to carve the slopes. Groomers have worked hard to maintain coverage, and while the base is thin, the surface is holding steady for morning runs. No fresh snowfall overnight, but skiers can expect firm, fast conditions with some softening as the day warms up.

No major news impacting the slopes today, but keep an eye on the forecast—while no snow is expected immediately, colder temperatures could help preserve conditions through the weekend. If you're heading out, wax for speed and watch for occasional thin spots. Get out early for the best turns before the afternoon sun takes hold!

About the Area


Ski-Charlie Ski Resort in Iowa does not have any mountain ranges or significant mountain aspects, as Iowa is a relatively flat state with no major mountainous terrain. The resort may have man-made hills or slopes for skiing and snowboarding, but they would not be considered true mountains.

Ski Charlie Ski Resort in Iowa offers 8 trails with varying difficulty levels, but the best trails are the intermediate and advanced ones as they provide a challenge to experienced skiers. An interesting fact about the resort is that it was originally intended for summer use as a golf course, but a tough winter made the owners realize its potential as a ski resort. For beginner skiers, it is recommended to start with the Bunny Hill and work their way up gradually. The best apres ski bar is the Chalet Lounge, which offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious drinks.
