Christmas Eve starts out sunny on the mountain. If you’re looking for sun, go get it early, as it won’t last. Just a trace of snow overnight gives way to a cloudy Christmas followed by a sunny Thursday and Friday. Next chance of snow is Sunday night, but models are far from agreeing on this.For Christmas Eve Day, sunshine is the morning weather. High clouds move in during the afternoon, and light snowfall arrives overnight. By light, I mean truly light in multiple sense. The snow level will be 0′ early, 1500′ in the afternoon, and 500′-1000′ overnight. The snow that falls will be very light and fluffy (like baby bunnies), but there won’t be enough to tell; just a trace to 1/2” falls overnight. Wind will be variable to 10mph all day.

Given that temps were below freezing on Monday night and will rise above freezing during the day Tuesday, all trails are under a freeze-thaw alert. Syncline, especially, is susceptible to this, as it is south-facing. Please don’t ride it, because you’ll do significant damage to those thawing trails. Your best bet for riding today is anything under the canopy of trees. Don’t ride up Seven Streams, as areas in the clearcut are freeze-thaw. A fun thing to do is ride up Post Canyon Road and ride down Mitchell Ridge. Repeat.Upcoming Events
