Summary
Snow conditions today are packed powder on machine-groomed trails, with a cool overnight low of 22.3°F keeping the surface crisp and carvable. While the current snowpack is significantly below average—down over 50%—the mountain remains skiable with decent coverage.
Looking ahead, a promising storm system is on the horizon with 12.35 inches of snow forecast over the next 72 hours. Even more snow (up to 12 inches) is expected in the 5-day outlook, signaling the potential for vastly improved conditions later this week. While expert skiers may find the base a bit thin off-trail, today offers solid conditions for groomer runs and a scenic ride beneath Mt. Timpanogos. It’s worth hitting the slopes now—and keeping your eye on the sky for a powder refresh.
