Spring (Skiing) is in the Air!

While this winter was slow to start, it seems to be the gift that doesn’t stop giving. The higher summits have seen an impressively long span of below-freezing temperatures, allowing for minimal melting in our snow pack as well as plenty of snowfall! Coverage at resorts across the state is doing quite well with the deepest base depths reaching over 5 feet!
Taking a look at the natural snow across the state, it’s no wonder the base depths are so deep! Natural snow depths are still hovering between 1-3 FEET for most of the state! Even after today’s (mostly) rain event, the southern half of the state will see some melting, but the little melting that will occur will be barely noticeable in our impressive snow pack and the northern half of the state will barely see any melting whatsoever. Even better, there is a swath of snow on the backside of the storm that will spread in through the center of the state, giving us a 20-40 percent chance of dropping 6 inches or more in the next 48 hours!
