Snow Reporter Comments: 2/22/26 7:00 AM Update: Bundle up today to enjoy today’s storm skiing and riding. Temps have stayed cold while bringing addition precipitation resulting in 4” of snow yesterday. Anticipate cold temps and strong winds like yesterday. This may impact our lift operations so keep up to date using the Kiosks, Mountain Report, or Ikon app. With several inches of new snow and more on the way, it's important to respect all terrain closures. Ski Patrol wants to open terrain as soon as there is enough coverage for safe skiing and riding. If terrain is still closed, there’s a good reason. Bring your friends to ski and ride with a buddy. Join us again for night skiing on Quicksilver and Discovery chair until 7 pm.Please give yourself extra time upon arriving to the mountain. Road conditions are reflective of current snow fall and our teams are working to get vehicles up the boulevard as safely and efficiently as possible.Terrain Parks: Discovery Park and the Arwine's Jump Line are open today.

Overnight, there is a fair bit of uncertainty regarding snow totals due to the storm track swinging towards the Southwest, which is not always the most favorable direction for Crystal. As of right now, it looks like moderate snowfall with 2-4” possible, but this could easily outperform and give us a bonus 2 inches if the snow gods are kind. Monday is looking much more promising with West flow and continued precipitation. If you have the option, Monday may be a good day to play a little hooky from work and come shred up the goods! Sunday Night: Sky Cover: CloudyFreezing Elevation: 5,500’12hr Precip: 2-4”Wind Trends: Strong Southwest, gusting 40mphMonday: Sky Cover: CloudyFreezing Elevation: 4,000’12hr Precip: 3-6”Wind Trends: Light to Moderate WestMonday Night: Sky Cover: CloudyFreezing Elevation: 4,500’12hr Precip: 1-3”Wind Trends: Light WestOutlook: As the Pacific low-pressure system begins to fade away, another low on the East side of the range begins to take hold, bringing us more of that sweet powder snow. Expect continued light snow showers on Tuesday and Tuesday night. As we approach mid-week, temperatures will continue to cool, but precipitation will begin to dry out.
