9:37AM UPDATE: Please note due to the winds last night causing winddrift in snow valley, snow valley will experience a delayed opening this morning as our team conducts avalanche mitigation.
Bluebird skies are here today and sticking around through tomorrow—just in time for our Banked Slalom event! You can catch the action from the sundeck or watch racers take on the course beneath the Super Cub lift.
We picked up 2 inches of snow during the day yesterday, followed by another 4 inches overnight, bringing the 24-hour total to 6 inches of fresh snow.
Today’s forecast: Sunny with a high near 37°F, making for a great day to enjoy the fresh conditions. Get ready for a fantastic weekend ahead!
