Today’s Sugar Peak snow report: Sugar Peak received 0 inches of new snow overnight, holding the base depth at 12 inches.



Summary

Snow conditions are firm and groomed, with a crisp morning temperature of 19°F. Limited natural snow in recent days means some areas may be hard-packed or icy, especially on high-traffic runs. Skiers should expect fast, technical conditions and stay alert for thin spots near the edges.

Looking ahead, the forecast is calling for light snow over the next 24 hours (less than an inch), with totals staying under an inch through the next 72 hours. However, a more promising storm system is on the horizon, with up to 4 inches projected by midweek. If you're itching to get on the slopes, today offers clear skies and solid groomers for carving—just temper expectations for fresh powder. With more snow on the way, a return visit later this week might offer softer turns.
