    Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado

    Hey shredders, Vail's firing up early season vibes with the resort wide open from November 14 through April 19, but it's still building that legendary base—think groomed runs on **artificial snow** right now. At the summit (11,570 feet), you've got **71 cm (28 inches)** of snow depth, while the base (8,070 feet) sits at **40 cm (16 inches)**, with recent reports noting up to 28 inches base in spots. No fresh powder in the last 24 or 48 hours—last natural dump was December 7—but the snow guns are cranking to keep those early lines carveable.

    Only **10 of 34 lifts (29%)** and **49 of 234 km (21%)** trails are spinning, including the valley run, so hit the open lower-mountain groomers for buttery turns while the crew expands terrain. Piste conditions are solid artificial snow, but off-piste is closed with no halfpipe, fun park, or night skiing yet—avalanche info N/A, so stick to marked runs and check local risks. Season total? Around **52 inches** so far, way below Vail's epic 242-inch annual average, but Colorado's snowpack at 57% median means more is coming.

    Today's weather at summit elevation: highs around **12°F (-11°C)**, lows **0°F (-18°C)**, mostly clear skies for bluebird cruising. Looking ahead, it's mild and dry with freeze-thaw cycles—no big dumps imminent. Expect summit highs/lows like: Wed 3°F/-12°C clear, Thu 32°F/0°C cloudy, Fri 28°F/-2°C possible light snow, Sat 34°F/4°C cloudy, Sun 27°F/-3°C mixed—temps warming base-side to low 40s°F, so layers are your friend for those variable conditions.

    Pro tip from locals: Download the My Epic app for live lift lines, webcams, and alerts—crowds build fast even on limited ops. Vail Village is 1.2 km away for apres vibes, and call the snow phone (970-476-4888) for real-time updates. Bundle up, respect the thin base, and snag those first-chair corduroy laps—Vail's just warming up for powder glory! Stay rad out there.

Base sits at 40cm (about 16 inches), summit 71cm (28 inches), mostly groomed artificial snow since the last natural dump way back on December 7. A fresh 4 inches hit over the weekend storm, jazzing up the limited open runs, but season total's hovering around 48 inches so far—way below Vail's epic 350-inch average.

No freshies in the last 24 or 48 hours, but forecasts are buzzing with **2-3 inches expected today (Saturday)** and another inch or so Sunday, perfect for powder hounds.

    Only **10 of 34 lifts (29%)** and **49 of 277 trails (21%)** are spinning, including the valley run, so hit those early to beat the crowds and ease back into the rhythm—watch for marked obstacles and ski patrol's got your back at 970-754-1911.

Piste is solid on open runs but variable elsewhere; off-piste calls for caution—check avalanche risks and gear up before venturing out. Season total? Still under 30 inches naturally so far, way below Vail's legendary 242-inch average, but Mother Nature's warming up.

Right now, the base sits at a solid 40cm (about 16 inches) with 71cm (28 inches) up top at 3527m, mostly groomed artificial snow keeping things carve-ready since the last natural fall on December 7.

    Locals say hit early for fresh tracks on new snow, bundle for wind chills, and note fun parks and halfpipes are closed—no night skiing yet. Vail's open through April 19, so patience pays off with storms brewing for New Year's. Grab your pass, think like a local (coffee at the base, then bomb the open stuff), and let's make turns—conditions are building fast!

No freshies in the last 24 or 48 hours, but season total's around 48 inches so far—solid start toward Vail's epic 350-inch average.

    Only 21% of terrain's open (49km of 234km slopes) with 10 of 34 lifts spinning, including valley runs for easy laps—perfect for building confidence before the bowls explode.
