Summary
Skiers should expect early-season, variable conditions on the mountain, with limited terrain open and groomers being your best bet for carving. The snow water equivalent stands at 1.6", indicating a thin but rideable base in select areas. However, relief may be en route: a total of just over 4 inches of fresh snow is forecasted over the next five days, with 2.13 inches expected in the coming 72 hours. While not a major dump, this could help refresh trails and improve surface quality slightly heading into the weekend.
Off the slopes, the buzz is building around the Sundance Film Festival, which has just announced its 2026 short film selections—54 titles strong—as the festival prepares for its final year in Park City. This cultural milestone is sure to bring excitement to the region, making Sundance a hub not just for winter sports, but artistic celebration as well. While ski conditions remain subpar for mid-December, the mix of snow on the horizon and cinematic flair makes this an intriguing time to visit.
