Snow Reporter's Update

Mountain Report 4/26

Up Next: Remaining cloud cover is expected to thin out overnight and Sunday’s forecasts call for sunny skies. It will be another day of mild spring conditions, reaching a high in the low 40s with moderate, gusty winds. With 30 days and counting left this season, the time is right for getting those numbers up in pursuit of the coveted 100-day mark for the year.

7:00am Update: A thick fog in the base areas burned off rapidly this morning and dissipating cloud cover is already giving way to pockets of blue sky with a clear view to the summit. Forecasts are now calling for a reduced likelihood of precipitation today, so it appears we may dodge the showers of wintry mix after all! With steadily improving weather, we’re expected to reach a high in the mid-40s during ops, with moderate winds and afternoon sunshine. Our snowpack has been doing a great job holding up to the warm spring weather and remains at a robust 112”. Thanks to warm temperatures last night, mid-mountain is seeing figures in the mid-30s currently, which should make for a day of quickly softening early morning turns transitioning to fun, slushy afternoon laps.
