Let it go: frozen on Jan. 2, 2025

If the cold and wind doesn’t bother you, this is great weather. Ater a warm and wet New Year’s, winter has returned with some attitude. This is a quick post that I plan to update later in the day.

Mother Nature was her pickiest self yesterday, dropping very little snow overall, but some isolated patches got 5-6″. Since successful ski touring centers tend to be located to be lucky for snow, some were indded recipients of good fortune.

This post is about conditions for Jan. 2, 2025, and forecast for the next few days. See jump links to Conditions and Forecast.

How’s the skiing in general?

Some places with new snow skiing conditions. Expect more and better grooming for Friday.

Hit up ‘State of the touring centers‘ or in the menu above for reported conditions as of today. Here’s where the snow fell yesterday:
