OpenSnow editorial for Northstar California
The mild weather continues into Monday. Rain and snow could push in by Tuesday into Wednesday, with a colder storm and snow possible for Wednesday night into Thursday. Then a drier pattern is likely by the end of next week into the 2nd week of April.
Soft, spring-like groomers and increasingly slushy off-piste will make for fun cruising but no powder turns, with mild temps and dry weather keeping surfaces on the softer side.
Another warm, dry day will keep skiing firmly in the soft-snow category, with slushy lower runs and the best conditions on higher, north-facing groomers.
A windy, cooler day ahead of the next storm will still ski soft but more variable, with older snow getting pushed around by strong southwest winds.
