AZ remains situated on the backside of our exiting weekend storm, which will lead continued snow showers Monday night (Sunrise) into Tuesday afternoon (region wide). Sunrise will be better positioned for deeper accumulations 4-8" while Snowbowl may pick up several inches through the day Tuesday. We then move under a ridge of high pressure Wednesday into the end of the week resulting in sharply warmer weather. 

The aforementioned ridge flattens over time late next week into the final weekend of the month as a deep trough stalls off the CA coast. It looks like a windy setup Thursday 3/28 moving forward, very windy next weekend. The Pacific system looks to enter AZ for the first day of April, next Monday, stay tuned.

NEW: Snow Ratio Forecast

You can now get a good idea of the upcoming snow quality for the next storm via our new "Snow Ratio" forecast for any location in OpenSnow.

When we talk about snow quality, such as “light and fluffy” or “heavy and wet”, we are talking about the snow-to-liquid ratio. The higher the snow-to-liquid ratio, the lighter the snow quality, and vice-versa.

1. Go to any location screen and tap the "Snow Summary" tab.
2. Scroll down to the 5-day hourly or 10-day forecast section.
3. View the 5-day hourly or daily "Snow Ratio" forecast for the next 10 days.

10:1 will be fun but will feel a little heavy. 15:1 will offer some faceshots and feel pretty light. 20:1 will be incredibly light, almost like skiing through nothing but air.

This new feature is currently available with the latest version of the OpenSnow iOS app installed (App Store > OpenSnow > Update) or on the OpenSnow website (OpenSnow.com). It will be available in the OpenSnow Android app soon.
