Information
A southerly storm on Thursday (31/7) and Friday (1/8) brought 5 cm of snow to Palmer with about 10 cm at ridgetop. The snow coverage from the ridge at 1800 m down to about 1650 m is pretty good, but we didn't get enough to cover the tussock above Palmer. It looks better than a few days ago. All it will take is one big storm to get open! We don't have a projected opening date until we see one of those coming. We'll update you if we see something coming down the pike.
