Snow Reporter Comments: Last updated: Tuesday, January 20 at 2:30PMWith a total of 50 terrain park features spread across the entire resort, there's plenty of alpine fun for all skill levels. For top-to-bottom park laps, take a spin up Chair 9 and make your way down Expressway to hit the down-flat-down jib.Last updated: Tuesday, January 20 at 6:45AMForecasts are calling for sunny skies today with daytime temperatures reaching the upper 50s. West winds will return this afternoon at 5–15 mph, with little overall change expected on Wednesday. Looking ahead to later this week, forecast models show some uncertainty regarding a low-pressure system offshore of the California coast. Current indications suggest a more progressive upper-level trough moving through Thursday into Friday, accompanied by a weakening cold front. This system may bring light, widespread precipitation across Southern California. Snowfall potential remains low at this time, as snow levels are expected to stay above 8,000 feet, limiting any meaningful accumulation. Temperatures will trend cooler, with highs dropping into the 40s by the end of the week and overnight lows ranging from the upper 20s to mid-30s. For the weekend, we are expecting near-normal temperatures and generally dry conditions. There is, however, a better signal for more appreciable precipitation sometime next week, which we will continue to monitor.TODAY'S OPERATIONSChairsChair 5: 9AM-4PMChair 7: 9AM-4PMChair 9: 9AM-4PMTrailsAmusement ParkCentral ParkExpresswayHidden ValleyInspirationUpper & Lower Park RunEasy Street (Lower)The GulchTicket Windows, Rental Shop, Security, Tuning & Repair: 8:30AM–4:30PMRetail Shops & Adventure Academy: 8:30AM–4PMDining:BBQ in the Park: 11AM-2PMBig Bear Burger Co: 11AM-4PMLaybacks Bar: 10AM-4PMMethod’s Sports Bar & Coffee: 8AM-4PMNollie’s Pizza: 11AM-2PMThe Burrito Bar: 8AM-10:30AMThe Crispy Coop: 11AM-4PM
