Snow conditions are firm and groomed, with minimal powder and some icy stretches, especially on steeper runs. With overnight temperatures holding above freezing at 34.3°F, expect softening snow by mid-morning and variable conditions across the mountain.
The snowpack is currently 78% below average, and the Snow Water Equivalent sits at 3.6 inches, indicating lower-than-normal coverage. However, there's a glimmer of hope in the forecast: over the next five days, up to 7 inches of snow could fall, with the first flurries possibly arriving within 48 hours. While coverage is thin, groomers are doing their best to maintain rideable terrain. If you're looking for turns, early morning laps on fresh corduroy are your best bet — just manage expectations.
