Mountain Rainier at sunset as viewed from Mission Ridge

1/9/25 Night Conditions Report

After yesterday’s spectacular sunset on the mountain, we’re feeling optimistic about a repeat act with partly cloudy skies heading into the evening. We’ll be spinning Chairs 1, 2, and 4 alongside all surface lifts until 9pm, so there’s something for everyone up here! After a great day of skiing and riding, conditions will be variable across the mountain. Sun-soaked areas got pretty soft throughout the day today, and will likely start the evening that way before firming up overnight. More sheltered areas will maintain the crisp, edge-able character of the morning’s groom, though snow will have been pushed about throughout the day. 100Laps Terrain Park is back with a new build, so be sure to check that out if you head up for the night!

See you out there!
