Ski Report for Vail, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado
Shredders and powder hounds, Vail is calling your name with that classic Colorado grip on the slopes! Right now, the base at 2457m sits at a solid 50cm of snow, while the summit at 3527m boasts 91cm—plenty for carving turns without bottoming out. Snow quality is gripping, perfect for locking in edges on groomers, though the last fresh dump was on January 25, so no new snow in the past 24 or 48 hours. Season total? Not specified yet, but the base is holding strong mid-winter.
Terrain's humming with 144km of 234km slopes open (62%) and 18 of 34 lifts spinning (53%)—valley run's good to go for that sweet lap back to the base. Fun parks and halfpipes are closed, and no night skiing, so hit it early.
Weather's crisp and clear today around 8°C at lower elevations with light SSE winds, feeling like prime bluebird conditions. But bundle up—temps drop to lows near -12°C tonight under mostly cloudy skies.
Looking ahead, Friday brings snow showers with highs around 1°C and a chance of light flurries. Saturday's colder, highs near -3°C with more snow possible (1-3cm accumulation), winds gusting to 26mph—could get epic off-piste if it sticks. Sunday chills to highs of -13°C with blustery chances of snow, then clears up Monday with -1°C highs. Expect variable piste conditions turning powder-friendly if storms deliver, but watch for wind-affected off-piste.
Pro tip: A major winter storm's brewing in the Rockies starting Friday, so check Vail's snow phone (970-476-4888) for real-time lift updates. My Epic app's your best bud for live cams and lines. Season runs through April 19—pack the thermals and let's send it!
