January 11, 2025 FSA Grooming Report
CONDITIONS:
-7C at cabin elevation. 4cm new snow in the past 24 hours. 12cm in the past 7 days. Total snowpack heights variable based on riding zone but 197 cm measured at the plot. Total snowfall this season 455cm. We have not had much in the way of new snow this week thanks to the typical January dry spell. Riders can expect to find about 10cm of lighter snow sitting on top of 30-50 cm (or more) of settling snow from the holiday storm cycle. Snow conditions remain highly variable, with wind-affected and firmer snow in exposed alpine areas, while sheltered spots below treeline offer deeper, softer powder. Popular areas close to the trails and cabins are tracked out but there are still pockets left of good powder riding if you are willing to explore a little.
Today: Cloudy with a 60% chance of flurries and possibly a few afternoon sunny breaks. Minor to low end light accumulation possible. High near -4.
Tonight: Cloudy with clear periods and a slight chance of flurries. Low near -9.
