The base is holding steady at around 35 inches, which is pretty solid for early April, sitting about 61% of the average for this time of year. Up top at the summit, you're looking at 88 centimeters of snow, so there's definitely still some decent coverage to work with. The recent snowfall has been modest. We picked up about 2 inches over the last 24 hours and similar amounts over the past few days, so the mountain is getting a little refresh but nothing dramatic. Season-to-date, we're sitting on around 150 inches total, which shows Vail's consistently strong snow year. The last significant dump came around March 15th, so it's been a bit quiet on the powder front lately, but that's typical for this time of spring. Right now about 8 out of 33 lifts are spinning, with roughly 28 runs open out of 277 total trails. That's about 10% of the terrain available, so you're definitely working with a limited playground, but that's the reality of late-season skiing. The good news is you've still got nearly 900 acres of terrain open, which gives you plenty of options to find the goods. Conditions underfoot are variable with some machine-groomed sections and packed powder mixed in. Spring conditions mean you'll want to time your runs carefully—get up early before the sun turns everything into mush. Off-piste areas aren't really the move right now given what's available. Temperature-wise, expect highs around 29 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the day, with overnight lows dropping to the teens…","meta_description":"Ski Report for Vail, Colorado Daily Ski Conditions for Vail, Colorado # Vail Snow Report: Late Season Conditions If you're thinking about hitting Vail rig…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":184,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/vail-colorado-ski-report-7121711/episodes/spring-skiing-strategy-making-the-most-of-vail-s-late-season-window/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vail-colorado-ski-report-7121711/spring-skiing-strategy-making-the-most-of-vail-s-late-season-window.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
