Go back to Today's SnowLine for our tell-it-like-it-is commentary.
Dark Blue = Epic. Deep powder and/or billowy soft-packed. We use this rating sparingly, saving it for days when it really is that good.
Blue = Primarily powder and soft-packed. We do not use the term "powder" for new snow that is crusty or wet, even if it's deep.
Light Blue = New England Mix. Our terminology for variable wintry snow surfaces that include some or all of the following: soft-packed, hard-packed, granular, icy spots, fresh machine made snow. The "mix" may also include some powder and/or loose snow (especially on trail edges and in glades). This is the most common snow condition in New England; frequently called "packed powder" in official ski reports.
Yellow = Icy, Wet or Spring and does not necessarily indicate poor snow conditions. "Spring" means variable warmer weather snow surfaces that can range from crusty to icy in the morning to soft, wet or corn in the afternoon. All Yellow ratings are explained in more detail in Today's SnowLine.
