OpenSnow editorial for Kirkwood
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.
With no new snow and warm temps, skiing will stay firmly on the groomers with increasingly soft, springlike snow by afternoon.
Another warm, dry day will keep conditions groomer-focused with softening snow and some late-day slush.
Plenty of sun and continued warmth will make for fun morning groomers and very soft, slushy snow by afternoon.
Yet another dry, mild day will keep conditions springlike with firm early groomers and soft, forgiving snow by midday.
