Base depth sits at a solid 50cm (about 20 inches), climbing to 91cm (36 inches) at the summit for some epic vertical descents. We snagged new snow yesterday on January 25, blanketing the mountain in that irresistible fluff, with quality listed as prime "new snow" for carving groomers or ducking trees.
Only 62% of terrain is open—144km of 234km slopes, plus 18 of 34 lifts spinning (53% operational)—so prioritize the valley run that's firing and dodge any thin spots. Piste conditions are fresh and forgiving from recent dumps, but off-piste stays variable with wind-sculpted crust possible; stick to patrolled for max fun. Season total? Around 83 inches since October 1, building nicely after early dry spells and that sweet 6-inch refresh back in early January.
Weather's biting today with snow showers tapering by afternoon, highs near 18°F at the base but wind chills dipping to -10°F—layer up, folks! Looking ahead, temps climb: tomorrow cloudy with max 34°F (min 11°F), Wednesday 33°F/8°F, Thursday a powder alert with
