Vail Snow Report: Conditions Improving with Incoming Storms
Ski Report for Vail, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado
Well, if you're thinking about hitting the slopes at Vail, here's what you need to know about conditions right now. The mountain is currently holding about 40 centimeters at the base and 71 centimeters up top, though Mother Nature has been a bit stingy with the fresh stuff lately. The last real snowfall was back on December 7th, so things are getting a little thin on the ground. That said, the resort has been working the snowmaking guns to keep terrain skiable, and they've got 33 of 234 kilometers open, which represents about 14 percent of the mountain. Lifts-wise, 16 of 34 are spinning, so you'll have enough infrastructure to get around and find some decent runs.
If you're the type who needs fresh tracks to get excited, hold tight because snow is actually coming your way. The forecast is looking pretty spicy over the next week. Monday brought some snow overnight, and by the time you're reading this, more powder should be falling. The outlook calls for upwards of 4 inches of new snow over the next seven days, with the heaviest action expected Wednesday through Friday. You could see another inch or two each of those days as storms roll through, which would be a welcome change from the dry spell.
Temperature-wise, don't expect to need your sunglasses from pure sunshine reflection. Highs are hovering in the low 30s Fahrenheit during the day, with nighttime lows dipping into the teens and single digits. The coldest stretch looks like it'll be around January 8th and 9th when you're talking about highs in the high teens and lows near negative 10. Wind is a factor too, so dress in layers because it's going to feel pretty raw out there. The good news is that this cold snap means any new snow will stick around and consolidate nicely rather than getting eaten by warmth.
For the season overall, Vail typically sees around 350 inches of annual snowfall, and the mountain runs through April 19th, so there's plenty of time for conditions to improve. Right now the snowpack is sitting at about 62 percent of median average, which tells you this winter has been below par so far, but those incoming storms should help chip away at that deficit. Just know that if you're coming for bottomless pow, you might need to be patient and strategic about where you ski, but conditions should get better as the week progresses and those storms paint the mountain white again.
