The mountain is covered from recent snow. All trails are skiing well, groomed surface or at least a groomed base. Some spots of hardpack are poking through, and with wind it can get to be dust on crust in those spots. Both the marked and unmarked glades have good coverage and are skiiable.

Great opening day today November 12 2025) with the limited terrain open. No ice spots or signs of thin snow. The weather is turning warm but that was awesome for so early in the year.
