Good morning skiers & boarders,
A nice little dusting of fresh overnight. Still keeping quite cold on top, so the snow is still nice up there.
Tomorrow looks to be fairly sunny and just about near freezing, so should be the last "normal" day before the Great Warming Event of 2026 starts on Saturday. Buckle in and get your spring skiing gear out cuz it's going to pure spring conditions Saturday thru Monday, sunny with forecasted highs of +6-10-6 for those three days!! It should be very pleasant.
That's all I have to say about that.
Think snow.
