1:15 p.m. update:

Calling all volunteers! Special Olympics Montana is seeking last-minute helpers for tomorrow's Winter Games here on the mountain! Anyone interested in volunteering can meet the organizers at 8:30 a.m. on the second floor of the Base Lodge. Help support this awesome event!

9:50 a.m. update:

Snow is really nice and soft from the past few days. Groomers on the backside and upper third of the mountain have soft, smooth, packed powder corduroy that take a deep edge. The skiing is super fun!

Middle and lower mountain areas are crunchy and fast, especially as you near the base.

Clouds are hanging around the bottom of Ptarmigan Bowl. We have two to three chairs of visibility on the summit. We have some colder gusts moving through, so bring up a neckie and some layers!

6 a.m. report:

Good morning, snow-loving friends!

We received 1 new inch of snow on the summit, bringing our season total up to 201 inches. Wind scrouring has been minimal, and extra snow is helping freshen up our snowpack. The temperature is currently 24 degrees and we're expecting a high of 28 today, a few degrees colder than originally forecast. As of 6 a.m., we have high cloud cover with some parting, and views are clear to the summit. We may see a little more snowfall throughout the day.

The backside is holding good soft snow, while solar aspects on the front are firmer after a melt-freeze cycle yesterday. We will have some variable conditions with everything from packed powder to corn snow.

Watch out for deep tree wells today! Extra snow and wind drifting have built deep tree wells, so keep a wide berth around trees and check in with your riding buddies.

Coming up this Saturday, we have the Biggie Banks Skiercross & Boardercross over on the Goat Haunt race course. Check out our events page to learn more, register or sign up to volunteer.

We hope to see you on the mountain today! Buckle those boots and I’ll see you on the slopes!

The snow report is a subjective assessment of terrain and weather conditions. Snowfall and snow depths are measured at the summit and base areas around 6 a.m. each day. Actual depths may vary across the mountain and change throughout the day. Always check with ski patrol if you need more information about skiing conditions.

If you go out of bounds ...

When you exit the marked boundaries of the resort, you are entering backcountry terrain where natural and human-caused avalanches can occur. The resort does not conduct avalanche mitigation on those slopes. Always check the Flathead Avalanche Center's daily avalanche forecast and carry a beacon, shovel and probe.

Stay safe out there!

Did you know tree wells can be deadly? How do you ski or ride safely in early-season conditions? Have you read the Skier Responsibility Code?

Please review our safety guides to help keep you, your buddies and your fellow guests safe on the slopes.
