Today's Snow Reporter: Helena

Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026:

10 a.m. update:

Well, we’ve got more of the same when it comes to snow conditions, but at least we’re skiing and riding under a bright blue sky!

Snow is softer on the backside and firmer on anything south-facing. While the frontside is firm, it’s actually softer than I was expecting! Off-piste, things are certainly not ideal with many places being bumped out and hard-packed, but those groomers are skiing nicely!

Snow is looking sparse on the lower mountain on the frontside. Beware of things other than snow on and off trial. Shrubs, rocks, and bare patches are prevalent on the lower parts of the mountain, from Big Ravine to Russ’s Street. If you’re not feeling like taking these trails down to the Base Lodge, remember that you are more than welcome to download Chair 1.

We’ve got light winds and cooler temps today. I’m feeling especially chilled after last week’s warm weather, but it is a welcome cold for sure. It’s beautiful out there! Not a cloud in sight and views for days. Dress accordingly in order to spend the day enjoying it!

Have a great day out there! It’s a beautiful Wednesday to enjoy some time on the slopes! Ski and ride with safety in mind and have fun!

6:45 a.m. report:

What happened, guys?! I went away for a few days, and so did all of the forecast snow, apparently. Well, worry not because I'm back, and hopefully I'll bring the snow here in the next couple of days. It's Helena this morning with your snow report and an always optimistic attitude! I know some people like to think we snow reporters control the weather, and sometimes I like to think that too, but alas, I truly am only here to report, not control!

Let's get into how that snow should be feeling underfoot, shall we? With no thaw cycle occurring yesterday, expect things to be firm mountainwide this morning. Softer conditions are expected on the backside, as per usual. Expect sugar on a sheet on the frontside this morning. Conditions off-piste are expected to be similar to what they have been over the past few days, so not fabulous.

Oh, if you hadn't guessed, we did not receive any new snow overnight. Grooming irregularities and variable conditions are going to exist today. Please be aware that Big Ravine will only be groomed down to the Interstate notch. Beyond that, conditions are looking a little bare, so ski and ride with caution. Be on the lookout for shrubbery and rocks as you ski and ride today, as they're starting to make an appearance. Inspiration will be groomed down to Hogan's East again today, so if you're not feeling like braving the chunks of lower Inspo, feel free to follow Hogan's East to stay on groomed terrain.

Things are getting a little thin out there. While the backside, with Chairs 7 and 11 and T-Bar 2, is holding up pretty well, the frontside is going through it. We are experiencing bare patches and dirt coming through, so be aware of obstacles like sticks and rocks poking up out of the snow. Hey, that's not to say we can't have fun, but there's no point in denying that things are thin out there.

In other non-snow-related weather: It should be a beautiful bluebird day today, with little cloud coverage. Temperatures are expected to hang out in the mid to upper 20s today, and we've got light winds of 5 mph with gusts up to 10 mph. With any luck, we may see some snow this weekend, and that would be awesome! I'm holding onto hope!

While snow is a great reason to get excited about this weekend, I can name another! We've got our Presidents Weekend Torchlight Parade & Fireworks this Saturday, Feb. 14! Check out all of the details for this event and others on our events page! The best place to view the parade and fireworks will be behind Ed & Mully's, so don't miss out!

Speaking of Presidents Day weekend, things are expected to get a little busier here in the coming days with the holiday weekend approaching! Consider catching a lift on the S.N.O.W. Bus or carpooling with your buddies! Nothing's better than some post-ski karaoke on the way down the hill with all of your friends.

I'll be hitting the snow here soon to let you know what conditions are really like! Remember to ski and ride within your limits and be on the lookout for obstacles today, whether that's shrubs, trees or other people! It's a great day to get out there and be active! 

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.
