Summary
With a base depth of just 2 inches—over 5 inches below the seasonal norm—conditions are thin, and terrain may be limited. However, there’s a glimmer of hope as a light snow event is forecasted to bring nearly an inch (0.87") over the next 24 to 72 hours. While not a game-changer, this may freshen up the slopes and improve surface conditions in spots.
The low snow levels reflect a broader regional concern, as local headlines emphasize the challenges ski areas across New Hampshire face amid warming winter trends. Despite these hurdles, the Franklin community continues to rally around its historic hillside, recently spotlighted in plans to revitalize the area as a regional draw. For skiers and riders, it's a day for carving cautiously and celebrating local perseverance—bundle up, check for any terrain updates at the base lodge, and enjoy the small-town charm this volunteer-run gem continues to offer.
