Spring corn snow is in place across major resorts. Snowbird is warmest at 7°C while Lech/Zürs sits at freezing; most Alpine and North American venues report low single figures.
Snowbird is the standout today, sitting warmest in our group at 7°C with corn snow reported across its slopes. That temperature translates to soft, forgiving spring snow on upper runs and a slicker surface lower down by late morning. The resort’s profile means classic spring turns will be on offer where aspect and shade preserve the corn through the day.
Across North America the story is uniform but not identical. Telluride and Hakuba Valley both register 5°C and are producing textbook corn on sunlit faces and firm corn on shaded lines. Big Sky, Winter Park and Jackson Hole sit between 3°C and 4°C; they offer a mix of tracked spring corn and firmer early-morning surfaces that soften quickly. In Europe the Alps are in low single figures, Courchevel and Livigno at 2°C and Courmayeur at 3°C, delivering reliable spring corn from groomers to upper pistes. Lech/Zürs is the coolest outlier at 0°C, so its snow is holding firmer and will give a later, cleaner corn cycle than the warmer resorts. The remaining venues fall into the same pattern: daylong corn on sunlit slopes, firmer conditions in the shade and on north aspects.
These observations suggest a consistent spring pattern for the next day or two, rather than any abrupt change. Resorts with higher morning freezes and good shade will preserve a firmer, late-morning corn longer. Warmer sites will move from firm to soft earlier, producing the classic mid-day carve and punchy afternoon turns. If planning a session, aim for upper elevations and north to east aspects early, then target sunlit runs after the corn has cycled; that approach will get the cleanest spring turns across the list of qualifying resorts.
