Summary
Snow conditions today are firm and variable, with groomed trails showing some icy sections due to warmer overnight temps of 27.1°F. With the snowpack running about 28% below seasonal averages, terrain is limited and coverage may be thin in off-piste areas.
Forecasts show light snowfall of 0.43 inches over the next 24 to 72 hours, but a much-needed system could bring up to 2 inches within five days. While the scenery remains stunning and the mountain peaceful, conditions aren’t ideal for most skiers. If you're local and itching for turns, it might be worth a few runs, but destination skiers should hold out for that next storm system.
