Ski Report for Vail, Colorado

Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado

Hey shredders, Vail is finally waking up from its sleepy start to the 25/26 season with a legit powder reload hitting the I-70 corridor just in time for your weekend turns! That storm kicking off Friday night into Saturday is dumping 6-9 inches across the mountain, keeping snow levels low and quality high with cold temps and fluffy ratios in the teens—perfect for carving fresh lines without the wind scouring it all away.

Base and summit depths aren't pinned down in the latest reports, but expect a solid refresh on top of recent dumps like that 6-inch hit back in early January that's got about 800 acres spinning already. In the last 24-48 hours, you're looking at 2 inches new so far, with another inch or two stacking up today amid snow showers that could turn heavy. No exact open lifts or trails count right now, but with this boost, more terrain should fire up fast—check the My Epic app for live lift lines and cams.

Weather's prime for play: today's high scrapes 37°F with east winds flipping west around 5 mph and snow flurries after noon, dropping to a chilly low near 2°F tonight. Tomorrow (Sunday) chills out with 1 inch new snow, maxing at 13°F before plunging to -7°F—bundle up for those bluebird corduroy laps. Monday clears to 23°F (low -7°F), Tuesday clouds at 28°F (low 4°F), Wednesday sunny 32°F (low 5°F), and Thursday cloudy 31°F (low 11°F), with more flakes teasing Friday. Piste conditions will groom beautifully under this fresh layer, while off-piste stays cautious—always scope avy risk before ducking ropes.

Season totals are building, but this storm's the refresher Vail needed after a slow open. Locals say don't bail on trips; even pre-dump, the Gore Range was rideable, and now it's game on with powder stashes holding strong. Hit the Express Lift Bar for après vibes, and snag that John Summit Experts Only event if you're nightlife-bound. Pack your fattest sticks—Vail's dishing send-it smiles this weekend!
