The slopes at Stevens Pass Ski Area are in phenomenal shape on this brisk January 15, 2025. Overnight temperatures dipped to 21.9°F, maintaining a solid base of 54 inches of snowpack—well above the seasonal average by over 4%. With a Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) of 18.4, conditions are primed for carving turns on well-covered trails. While the 72-hour forecast calls for a modest 0.58 inches of snow, the cold conditions will keep the surface fresh and fast. Groomers are reporting excellent corduroy on the main runs, and the backside remains ideal for powder hunters. The recent upgrades, including the new lift and app from last season, are helping streamline the experience and minimize delays.
While the skiing itself promises a stellar day on the mountain, visitors should plan ahead for parking, as restrictions remain in place, and the area has faced past overcrowding challenges. Local skiers remain vocal about improving operations under Vail Resorts, but with pristine conditions like these, today is all about the powder. Be mindful of avalanche warnings in the Cascades and enjoy the mid-season glory at one of Washington’s top ski destinations.
