Summary
Current conditions are packed powder with well-groomed runs across most of the mountain. While the snowpack remains about 9 inches below average for this time of year, the terrain is in great shape for mid-February turns.
Light snow is expected to return soon, with 2.37 inches in the 72-hour forecast and up to 5 inches predicted over the next five days—just enough to refresh the surface without disrupting visibility.
