Ski Report for Vail, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado
Hey shredders, Vail's calling your name with that classic Colorado vibe—think epic groomers begging for your carves and back bowls whispering adventure, even if the snowpack's still building this early season. Right now, the base sits at a solid 50cm (about 20 inches) with the summit packing 91cm (36 inches) of gripping snow, perfect for locking in edges without ice surprises. No fresh dumps in the last 24 or 48 hours—last flakes hit on the 25th—but that recent 6-inch refresh around Jan 6 has the mountain buzzing with variable conditions, so stay alert for marked obstacles and ease into your rhythm.
Only 18 of 34 lifts are spinning (53% open) and 144km of 234km trails (62% open), including a valley run to keep you cruising all day. Pistes are in powder-gripping shape for on-piste fun, though off-piste details are sparse—grab your avy gear if venturing out. Season total? Vail averages 244 inches yearly, but we're building from a slow start—think 50+ inches base-deep already.
Today's weather? Cloudy skies with temps topping 30°F at town level (13°F low), west winds gusting to 20mph, and a slight 20% shot at snow showers early—bundle up but expect carveable softness. Looking ahead, it's mostly dry and mild: Sat max 35°F/13°F min cloudy, Sun clear at 41°F/15°F, Mon 40°F/21°F cloudy, Tue possible 1cm new snow at 35°F/20°F, Wed fair 31°F/18°F. No big storms soon, but that Tue tease could freshen things up—pack layers for those chilly lifts.
Pro tip from us locals: Download the My Epic app for live cams, lift lines, and alerts—crowds are mellow with partial openings, but hit Spruce base early. Safety first: Buddy up, refresh the Responsibility Code, and save patrol numbers (emergency 970-754-1911). Vail's open through April 19—conditions are improving, so grab your board and make fresh tracks before the powder gods deliver!
