Does Vail Resorts have a policy about not providing condition reports? The Stevens page just give the weather facts, and Whistler has a really bland weather summary. I think an honest conditions report is so helpful! Both Crystal (Alterra) and Snoqualmie (Boyne) make it a point to have very honest conditions reports.

Meanwhile at Crystal we get:
2/27/24 9:03 AM
Good morning, skiers and riders! Yesterday’s storm continued to freshen up our mountain with 8" of new snowfall overnight at the summit. Bundle up today as temps are colder than usual. The sun may pay us a visit this afternoon but expect some precipitation throughout the day. Continue to ride with caution – challenging conditions and low coverage may persist in some pockets of your favorite off-piste runs.
Lastly, while we’ve been able to re-open a considerable amount of terrain, it’s important to remember that closed terrain is closed for a reason even if it looks delightful. Don’t duck ropes, don’t jump ropes, and respect all closures. We put gates leading into Exterminator and Bull Run by the end of the day yesterday and are hoping that the new overnight snowfall will have padded those runs a bit more. Be vigilant of rocks, tiny trees, and stumps lurking under the surface. And rejoice in the grand re-opening of Kelly's Gap today!
Closures: Northway and Gold Hills will remain closed. Keep an eye out for updates as we continue to re-open as much terrain as we can!
DRIVING NOTES:
SR 410 may be snowy and icy this morning, please ensure your vehicle is properly equipped with snow tires and 4wd if you are coming up today. We advise to always use caution driving through 410 and up the Boulevard. Stay up to date by visiting WSDOT.

Tuesday, February 27, 2024
Good day everyone!
It's Phat Tuesday today, and we're looking forward to a great day of skiing and snowboarding at The Summit at Snoqualmie. We've received more snow, and there's more terrain for you to enjoy today. The Groomer wasn't able to get to the top of the Armstrong Lift last night due to the new snow, so if you're looking for groomed runs, you can find them over at Summit Central where runs like Hogwild and Silver Nugget received some corduroy last night.
Alpental is open from 9 am to 9 pm, with Edelweiss closing at 3:30 pm. However, due to the new snow that has fallen since Sunday, the Patrol will be doing Avalanche Control work, and there could be delays in opening terrain and lifts. Summit Central is open from 9 am to 9:30 pm today, and Silver Fir closes at 5 pm.
The forecast for today is calling for increasing clouds and snow by midday. The temperatures are perfect for PNW powder today, with the current temperature at 17° on the top of Alpental and 23° at the base area. So, grab your gear and head up here. However, please remember to check the WSDOT Road Report as conditions can change quickly in the mountain passes. You can also check our website or Summit App for the latest operational information.
Respect Closed Areas / Ropes We have moved to a zero tolerance policy, there are no warnings or freebies. If you're found in a closed area or ducking a rope, your pass privileges will be suspended for a minimum of one month. Access privileges may be revoked for the remainder of season or life depending on the nature of the violation, repeated violations, and behavior toward staff. The same applies for tickets and Ikon. Suspension of privileges/access is without refund.
