Today features clear skies and very cold temperatures, with no significant snowfall expected. The snowpack will remain firm, and conditions are ideal for on-piste skiing, though guests should dress warmly for subzero temperatures. Looking ahead, a major change is expected midweek, with moderate to heavy snowfall and strong winds forecast from January 8 through January 11, likely leading to rapidly improving powder conditions but also potential disruptions and increased avalanche risk. Staff should prepare for significant snow management needs later in the week, and guests planning outdoor activities should monitor updates for changing weather and safety advisories.

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 17%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent snowfall. However, significant year-to-year variability is evident, with 2023 experiencing an anomalously high snowfall of 428.1 cm, more than double the 5-year average, while 2020 saw a notably low total of 91 cm. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 41% and 48% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a sharp decline from recent years. This pattern highlights both increased variability and the presence of significant anomalies within the observed period.
