Improving
Recent snowfall and a moderate forecast suggest conditions are improving, despite the poor historical performance.
Solid skiing conditions with room for improvement.
Current snow depth is adequate but not exceptional, with recent snowfall providing a moderate boost. The forecast suggests some snow is on the way, though not enough to significantly change conditions. The season has been historically poor, with snowfall significantly below average.
Depth
The depth score is low due to the season snowfall being only 89.5cm, which is below the 100-200cm range for adequate coverage.
