A little fresh snow Saturday morning at Sipapu, Purgatory and Wolf Creek. New snow is as of Saturday morning. And storm totals are since Thursday night. Despite the warm temps in the city, the snow is holding up pretty well with decent coverage at most resorts. Due to the warm temps most resorts have closed some trails. There are some spring conditions here and there along with some slush especially in the base areas in the afternoon. Your best bet is to hit the groomed runs first thing in the morning.
