The National Weather Service forecast for the summit and the base, and the snowpack measured nearby. Live: each figure gives its source and time.
Trail map
2025–26 season · artist not stated
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 500 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs.
