Snow conditions today are firm and fast groomers with occasional icy stretches, especially in higher traffic zones and steeper terrain. With overnight temps dipping to a brisk -4.3°F, expect hard-packed surfaces in the morning that may soften slightly with sun exposure.
Looking ahead, skiers can anticipate a much-needed refresh, with 8.6 inches of snow forecast over the next 72 hours and up to 10 inches by the 5-day mark. While current snowpack is about 33% below average for this time of year, the incoming storm could reinvigorate conditions heading into the weekend.
