Mainly clear skies today with cold temperatures and occasional fog, but conditions will change as moderate snowfall is expected tomorrow, followed by periods of light to moderate snow through midweek. Winds remain brisk, especially on exposed slopes, so guests should dress warmly and be prepared for reduced visibility at times. Snow accumulations over the next several days will refresh the slopes and improve ski conditions, making for excellent opportunities later in the week. Staff should monitor changing weather and wind conditions, particularly during snowfall events, to ensure safe operations.
