Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado

Hey shredders, Vail's calling with that classic Colorado vibe right now – variable snowpack building strong for epic lines, but stay sharp on marked obstacles and ease into the rhythm like a local. Base depth sits at a solid 30 inches, with mid-mountain stakes showing healthy cover around 76 cm up high and 40 cm in the village. Fresh powder alert: 2 inches dropped in the last 24 and 48 hours, part of 2 inches over 7 days, stacking up to a season total of 67-69 inches since October.

Lifts and trails? Plenty open across Vail's massive terrain, though exact counts flex with conditions – hit the My Epic app for live status and avoid lines like a pro. Weather's crisp today with highs around 21-29°F at base (dropping to 6-17°F summit), NW winds at F4, and clear spells turning cloudy – perfect for carving without overheating.

Pistes are variable with fresh snow grooming the runs, but off-piste can crust up from wind or sun; cold temps preserve stashes, so scout smart and buddy up. Looking ahead, no big dumps next 48 hours, but clearer skies bring highs of 32-37°F through Wed (lows 15-20°F), then possible 1 inch by Jan 23 – freezing levels hovering resort-wide. Pack layers, as January norms dip to -2°C days with occasional flurries.

Pro tip: Valley descent's open, but slow down, refresh the Responsibility Code, and save patrol numbers (emergency 970-754-1911). Bluebird potential soon – grab your pass and send it!
