Good coverage, but starting to get icy in spots. Blue sky is really nice, but the back is rough, lots of bare spots. Pray for snow!

Overall pretty good conditions as long as you stick to the groomers and stay away from sun down, high noon and the back bowls. We got lucky as they opened a run in blue sky for some pow. Solid 7/10. Unlike keystone yesterday which was an icy mess everywhere and a 3/10. Stick to vail.

Was there Wed 12/18/24. Front side has a bit of chop and crud, but groomers are pretty good. Found some powder along the tree line from the inch or so of snow we got overnight. Chop softens later in the day. No ice. Good cover. Bluesky opened on Wed and was awesome. Lots of powder and fresh tracks.

Vail operations not winning! Loading uphill trash cans at Lionshead during the morning rush is unsatisfactory!

Day started out really crispy and hard, but all that sticky stuff from yesterday became rideable today. Made for some really fun steep skiing. The bowls were rocking today too. Still plenty of untouched powder, but it’s pretty wet

Once the afternoon hit, most of the leftovers became extremely sticky. Even the steeps. Hopefully this pow gets preserved. Good carving, and the morning offered some incredibly soft chopped powder, and a bunch of some fresh untouched lines. The snow coverage all around is super.

Really crusty morning. The upper sections of the mtn are still really soft, but everything under mid vail is crunchy, rip pow. It’s still really nice out here tho
