The Donner Ski Ranch snow report for Apr 15 is a 50" base depth with 7 of 8 lifts open. Please note ski conditions and snowfall at Donner Ski Ranch are sourced directly from the ski resort and are only recorded during the official ski season's opening to closing dates.
Wind was whipping up the snow at the top of lifts, chilly on the lifts at the top this morning..... but almost empty, fully groomed slopes, in the sunshine, more than made up for it!
Donner Ski Ranch was first utilized for skiing in 1937 and is located high atop historic Donner Summit. The area's first rope tow was located at the base of the current lodge. Today, Donner has 400 skiable acres, 5 double and 1 triple chairlifts.
