Today's Snow Reporter: Ella
Sunday, March 23, 2025:
9:30 a.m. update:
Groomers on the back are silky soft and the front stayed carveable too! There's some slightly crunchier snow near the base area, but our overnight dusting did a bit to soften things up.
Off-piste frontside terrain definitely got crunchy, but the back is still looking great!
Our summit cloud is making for two to three chairs of visibility. Visibility increases below Ptarmigan Bowl. Please ski cautiously!
6 a.m. report:
Good morning, snow-loving friends!
Another 7 inches fell on the Big over the past 24 hours with a trace falling overnight. Yesterday turned out to be our deepest day of the season and stoke was high!
It is currently 19 degrees on the summit and we are looking at a high of 31 degrees this afternoon. The National Weather Service is forecasting another snowy day for us with a few inches coming down and snowfall picking up in the evening. Looking ahead, things will start warming up tomorrow, so today could be a great day to get in some last winter turns before we experience some beachy spring conditions.
Snow came down medium-density yesterday and had heated up on the frontside by the afternoon. The backside and sheltered pockets on the mountain should still be soft. Expect silky, carveable groomers on the back and edgeable, zippy groomers on the front. Off-piste will be soft in some places and chundery in others, and there might just be some space for fresh tracks!
Today we have our second day of the annual Nate Chute competition and participants will be racing down the Goat Haunt boardercross course. The racing today will be electric, so stop by to cheer on the athletes if you’re up on the mountain!
Finally, if you're on the hunt for a new pair of skis, stop by Village Rentals before the season ends! Demo skis are on sale now for just $350. You can save up to 50% on new skis, boots and bindings as well. Stop in and take advantage of these deals before they're all gone!
Have a wonderful Sunday, stay stoked 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!
