With a dramatic drop in temperature overnight, you can expect to find firm conditions at higher elevations. Groomers will be the call for the morning at least as Ski Patrol asses the conditions in the wake of the atmospheric river that impacted our area. Respect all closures and signage. Have a good day.
Backcountry Conditions
The avalanche danger has been downgraded to Considerable but ski quality will be poor at most elevations. Extreme winds overnight will have created wind slabs in the alpine and high treeline elevations. If you go into the backcountry, have realistic expectations of conditions.
