Summary
Conditions on the slopes are thin, icy, and heavily groomed, with significant bare spots. With overnight temperatures hovering at 35.9°F and no natural snowfall in sight, the terrain remains extremely limited and best suited for beginners or those looking to practice on minimal coverage.
The forecast for the next 72 hours shows no snow accumulation expected, with above-freezing temperatures continuing to challenge what little snowpack remains. Snow Water Equivalent is just 0.1", and the snowpack is down an alarming 100% from average—a clear sign of the difficult season. While the tubing hill remains open and the $200 season pass continues to offer value at partner resorts, skiing at Steeplechase today is not recommended for anyone seeking quality conditions. Proceed only if you’re local and looking for a quick outing, but keep your expectations low.
