Depth: 10.1/30Recent: 4.5/25Forecast: 15/25Historic: 10/20

Today will be clear and cold with partly cloudy skies and light winds, providing excellent visibility and stable conditions for skiing. No new snow is expected through midweek, so snow surfaces may be firm and packed. Significant snowfall is forecast to begin late in the week, with heavy accumulations and increasing winds expected from Thursday onward, which will greatly improve snow conditions but may impact lift operations and visibility. Guests should enjoy the current settled weather and prepare for rapidly changing conditions and fresh powder later in the week.

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 9%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent seasons. However, snowfall has been highly variable, with a significant spike in 2023 (442.8 cm) and a notable low in 2020 (134.6 cm). The current season’s snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 49% and 53% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a significant anomaly compared to recent trends. This suggests increased volatility in snowfall patterns, with the current season representing a sharp decline from recent highs.
