Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado

If you're itching to hit the slopes in Vail, Colorado, here's the latest scoop on the ski conditions. As of December 21, 2024, Vail's snow report is looking promising, with some fresh snowfall to get excited about. The current snow depth at the base is approximately 36 inches, and at the summit, it's around 36 inches as well.

In terms of new snowfall, the last snowfall was on December 17, 2024, which should help freshen up the slopes. Looking at the broader Vail Valley, snowpack levels are currently 168% of normal, which is fantastic news for skiers and snowboarders. Currently, 33 out of 34 lifts are open, and 211 out of 275 trails are ready for action.

The current weather conditions are quite chilly, with temperatures ranging from 34°F to 7°F. It's mostly sunny today, but the forecast for the next 5 days is a mixed bag. December 23 is expected to be cloudy with a slight chance of light snow, while December 24 and 25 are predicted to have heavy snow showers early, followed by cloudy conditions later. Temperatures will fluctuate between 31°F and 8°F.

Piste and off-piste conditions are not currently available, but given the lack of recent snowfall before the December 17 update, it's likely that the slopes might be a bit icy and hard-packed. However, recent reports describe the conditions as "good-skiing."

Looking ahead, the 7-day snow forecast predicts 4 inches of new snow, with 2 inches expected on December 24. The snow line is expected to remain at 7,398 feet throughout the week.

For those planning to visit, it's worth noting that Colorado's snowpack levels are currently 63% of normal, but Vail's high snowpack is a welcome exception. With plenty of open lifts and trails, and more snow on the way, Vail is shaping up to be a fantastic ski destination this December. So, grab your gear and hit the slopes – the snow is waiting for you.
