Monday, Dec. 29, 2025:
10:30 a.m. update:
It’s a beautiful crisp morning out on the Big. The temp is currently 10 degrees at the summit but it feels like -2, so keep your face and skin covered as the wind is biting as you ski down! It’s a bit hazy at the summit but visibility is high on the bottom three-quarters of the mountain although there is flat light.
Highly trafficked natural terrain is a little chunked up and variable, with both soft and skied-off areas. The groomers on the backside are skiing like a dream this morning, less crisp than yesterday and fun to carve. There are a few slick areas on groomers on the front where snow has been skied off a bit.
Hope you’re all enjoying the morning and you have a great rest of your day!
6 a.m. update:
Good morning and happy Monday to all!
We didn’t get any snow last night, but these cold temps mean we’re hanging on to all the fresh stuff we received a few days ago. The colder weather is going to continue through today, although it seems to be trending warmer late afternoon into tomorrow and the rest of the week. Expect temperatures in the high teens at the summit throughout most of the day, with a high of 21 in the late afternoon. Winds are going to be a consistent 10 mph with gusts up to 15 mph, so dress for cooler temperatures in order to accommodate.
The temperature at the base is going to be around 20 degrees with light winds. Visibility is currently low at the summit, but this may change throughout the day. Either way, it looks like there is going to be pretty dense cloud cover until the late afternoon, so it may be a good idea to plan for flat lighting.
This is me giving you a big pat on the back and a huge thank you if you carpooled or took the S.N.O.W. Bus up to the mountain the past few days. If you keep up the good work throughout the rest of the holiday period, maybe I’ll give you all another imaginary pat on the back soon! Stay on top of the ball and stay at it by continuing to hop on the bus and wrangling your crew into a shared vehicle.
Save the effort of walking and hail the free parking shuttle! It’ll be beep-bopping around, ready to take you to your destination throughout the day. Check out our parking and shuttle information here!
Chairs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 will be transporting you around the mountain today. The Big Easy Carpet and 2 Easy Carpet will be on for those looking for a good place to learn the ropes.
Monday got you down? Have to work? Turn that frown upside-down and pack your ski gear when you head out for work this morning. Night skiing will be a go nightly 4-8:30 p.m. through Jan. 3. for the holiday season! Terrain under Chairs 2, 3 and 6 will be illuminated. Night skiing is free for season passholders and those of us who are 6 and under.
If you can’t get enough night skiing, it sounds like you might love our New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade & Fireworks on Dec. 31. There will be night skiing on terrain off of Chairs 3 and 6 while the parade and fireworks start at 5:45 p.m. outside Ed & Mully’s. Check out more details and future events on our events page.
I’ll be out there on the hill inspecting the conditions. Check back in for updates and more info throughout the day. Ski ya later!
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!
