Summary
While early-season conditions remain lean — the current snowpack sits at only 4 inches, a stark 78% below average — a silver lining glimmers in the forecast. Light snow is expected today with 0.19 inches projected in the next 24 hours, leading into a more promising stretch: over 2 inches anticipated in the next three days and another 2 inches by day five. It won’t be a powder day just yet, but softening coverage could slowly improve surface conditions by the weekend.
Despite the shallow snow base and a Snow Water Equivalent of just 1.9 inches, groomers are working overtime to maintain safe corduroy runs on open terrain. No major local disruptions or news alerts have been reported, allowing for uninterrupted mountain operations. Beginners and intermediates will find the best experience on machine-groomed trails, while expert terrain remains limited until more snow arrives. Keep an eye on the skies and brace for a modest refresh — every flake counts as Snowbasin builds toward peak season.
