Summary
The stark -100% deviation from typical snow depth means early-season skiing is limited, with patchy coverage and marginal base conditions across most trails. Resort crews are working hard to preserve what snow remains with selective grooming and snowmaking where temps allow. Early risers can expect soft, spring-like snow in the morning, transitioning to slushier conditions by afternoon.
While fresh powder isn’t in the cards today, a light snow shower is forecasted with 0.13 inches expected over the next 24 to 72 hours—more a dusting than a game-changer, but enough to freshen the surface slightly. With no major weather events or local news disruptions reported, visitors can enjoy a quiet day on the slopes and in the lodge. Those heading out should pack for mild temps and check with the resort for trail openings and conditions.
