Groomed runs are skiable, but for late December coverage is still thin with noticeable patchiness. The Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin remain closed, and off-piste terrain isn’t in yet. A couple of solid storms would make a big difference.

Dec 14 - 19. VAIL lower Avanti should have been opened, glad I got some runs in before the hordes and the very thinning snow got used up … Jet stream not our friend this year

Pray for snow. Many runs open that shouldn’t be.

It was ok. It’s in need of some serious snow storm. A little icy and skinny. Rocks and shrubs showing at places.
