Snow Report December 10, 2024

Over the last week we received a lot of snow; this week we’ll receive a mixed bag of weather, but don’t let that get you down. This slightly warmer weather and atmospheric moisture will help pack down what we received over the last week and create a solid base for what’s to come! There will be a few trails that remain ungroomed with whales, this will help preserve more of the man made snow through this weather event.

Friendly reminder: there is no beginner terrain off the Cloudsplitter Gondola. If you’re just starting out or getting back on the slopes, our Bear Den area is the ideal spot to begin. It features ski-in, and ski-out access, and terrain designed for learning and steady progression.


The Lowdown

We are open with 33 trails serviced by 5 lifts, on Loose and frozen granular conditions. Today’s forecast includes a chance of rain later this afternoon into tonight, with a high of around 39°f. Yesterday afternoon threatened rain, but overnight we received a half inch of heavy wet snow. Be aware that snow conditions will change throughout the day today.

As we expand terrain daily, let’s all stay mindful of our surroundings. Stick to open trails, give other skiers and riders 15 feet of space, and if you see kids on the slopes, slow down and give them even more room.


The Essentials

Want to ski and ride for free? We’re less than a week away from our annual Santa Sunday event! Dress up in your favorite holiday outfit and hit the slopes for free this Sunday, December 15th. Last year we had over 400 Santas, so don’t miss out on the festive fun!

Another great way to save is with our Frequent Skier Card. Enjoy 50% off midweek, non-holiday lift tickets, and 25% off weekends and holidays. But don’t wait—these cards are only available until December 13th, so grab yours today!

Good day, skiers and riders! This is Jake with your Whiteface Insider Snowcast, presented by Ariens Mowers and Snowblowers. Today is December 10th, 2024, and it is ski and ride day number 18 of the season! Over the last week we received a lot of snow; this week we’ll receive a mixed bag of weather, but don’t let that get you down. This slightly warmer weather and atmospheric moisture will help pack down what we received over the last week and create a solid base for what’s to come! There will be a few trails that remain ungroomed with whales, this will help preserve more of the man made snow through this weather event. Friendly reminder: there is no beginner terrain off the Cloudsplitter Gondola. If you’re just starting out or getting back on the slopes, our Bear Den area is the ideal spot to begin. It features ski-in, and ski-out access, and terrain designed for learning and steady progression. We anticipate opening with 5 lifts and 30 trails, on frozen granular and loose granular conditions. Today’s forecast includes a chance of rain later this afternoon into tonight, with a high of around 39°f. Yesterday afternoon threatened rain, but overnight we received a half inch of heavy wet snow.
