The Crystal Mountain snow report for Jan 11 is a 26" base depth with 11 of 11 lifts open. Please note ski conditions and snowfall at Crystal Mountain are sourced directly from the ski resort and are only recorded during the official ski season's opening to closing dates.
Snow Reporter Comments: 7AM: The upper half of B-Lot will be temporarily closed due to maintenance. Please expect more time when traveling up the boulevard. Lower B-Lot is open for parking. 1/11/26 7 AM Update: Welcome to another wonderful Sunday! We’re moving into a slight warm up today, but strong winds yesterday kept the snow surface cool so it’s still skiing and riding great. This morning will be your best opportunity to take hot laps on chalky powder before it warms up. We’re expecting strong winds again today so hopefully that bodes well for keeping the snow cold. The winds may impact lift operations so check our current lift status on our Ticket Kiosk boards or the Ikon app. As a reminder, we received nearly three feet of new snow from this past storm. We always recommend skiing or riding with a friend. Take a moment to read more on our newly revampedMountain Safetypage!

Although we are looking pretty okay with this storm, we will receive some rain and mixed precipitation overnight and into Sunday. As far as rain events go, this should blow through fairly quickly and cause little snowpack loss. Winds will continue to be quite strong over the next 72 hoursSaturday Night: Sky Cover: Mostly clearFreezing Elevation: 6,000’12hr Precip: light mixed precip, trace amounts possibleWind Trends: Moderate to strong SouthwestSunday: Sky Cover: Mostly cloudyFreezing Elevation: 7,000’12hr Precip: .25” of rain, mixed precip at summitWind Trends: Strong SouthwestSunday Night: Sky Cover: Mostly cloudyFreezing Elevation: 8,000’12hr Precip: .10” of rain at all elevationsWind Trends: Extreme West Outlook: Monday is the brunt of the rain event, with rain totals around .25”. Compared to a typical AR event, this should not be too bad to endure. More impactful will be the forecasted winds, gusts could easily peg hurricane force speeds, 80 mph plus. By Tuesday, the skies should clear, winds will calm, leaving us in warm sunny weather.Uphill Travel Update: See the above banner for the current status.
