Summary
Snow conditions today are machine-groomed, with some hard-packed and icy stretches, especially on steeper runs and high alpine terrain. No fresh powder has fallen recently, and the current snowpack is trending nearly 39% below average for this time of year.
However, skiers and riders can look forward to a change in the coming days. The 72-hour forecast calls for 1.68 inches of snow, with a promising 9 inches expected over the next 5 days. While conditions today may not deliver deep turns, groomed runs are skiing well, and the mountain remains open with strong intermediate and advanced offerings. If you’re craving turns and alpine views, it’s still worth heading up—but keep an eye on that weekend storm system.
