Look at the timestamp first.

Check the camera’s date, time and location. A frozen frame, obscured lens or off-season snow stake can mislead. Use the operator report for lift and terrain status.

Check the image or video timestamp and location. Highway views are separate from ski-area cameras and do not establish lift operations.
