California's snowscape is feeling the chill with a mixed bag of conditions across the state. Skiers and snowboarders can carve up the 'epic' powder at resorts like Heavenly Valley and Squaw Valley G.C., where the snowpack depth is looking 'monster' at 56.0 and 85.0 inches respectively. Yet, not all areas are basking in winter's glory; Fallen Leaf is in a snowpack pickle at a meager 3.0 inches. While the forecast isn't promising fresh 'colossal' snowfalls in the coming days, areas like Dismal Swamp and Independence Lake are flaunting a 'brutal' snowpack surplus with depths soaring to 111.0 inches, ensuring plenty of winter wonderland vibes. On the flip side, beware the travel woes as mountain passes may face closures due to snow instability. Cali's winter enthusiasts, it's time to hit those slopes or cozy up by the fire — the state's winter mood is set to 'chill mode'!
