Big Sky Bluebird Days: Fresh Powder and All 40 Lifts Running Through Late January
Published 3 months ago
Description
Ski Report for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Daily Ski Conditions for Big Sky Resort, Montana
Fresh powder and sunshine hit Big Sky Resort overnight, with 1 inch of new snow blanketing the mountain as conditions continue to evolve through late January. Currently, the summit sits at a solid 132 centimeters (about 52 inches) of packed base while the base elevation holds 102 centimeters (roughly 40 inches), giving skiers and riders plenty to work with across the 5,850 acres of terrain. The resort is firing on all cylinders right now, with all 40 lifts running and 218 of 250 kilometers of slopes open for your consideration.
Yesterday morning brought some light snow, and today should deliver mostly sunny skies with a high around 31 degrees Fahrenheit, making for that classic bluebird powder day potential. However, if you're hoping for more accumulation in the immediate term, the forecast suggests a temporary lull before things get interesting again. Wednesday looks dry and mild, but Thursday is shaping up to be the next significant weather event, with fresh snow expected to move in and potentially deposit another inch or so across the mountain. Friday and beyond continue to look seasonally cool, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to mid-30s at the base.
Piste conditions across the resort are variable right now, transitioning between fresh powder and packed surfaces depending on which runs you're tracking. Off-piste terrain varies considerably, as wind and sun exposure play big roles in snow preservation at Big Sky's extreme elevations. The good news is that last snowfall hit on January 13th, meaning there's still some decent stashes hiding in the trees and chutes if you know where to look, though they've likely seen some wind and sun work over the past couple of weeks.
One thing worth noting is that Big Sky's reputation for consistent snow is well-earned. The resort averages over 400 inches annually, and forecasters are already hinting that spring could bring another round of powder before the season wraps on April 26th. With all lifts spinning and variable conditions keeping terrain interesting, now is a solid time to get some runs in before the next system arrives mid-week.
