Whistler is reporting deep snow totals on Tue AM and snow will continue through the day across Southern BC. The next storm will arrive on Wed-Thu with lower snow levels and heavy snow for Whistler & the North Shore resorts, while the Interior will see moderate snow. New storms will continue to arrive on a daily basis from Friday to Monday (Dec 27-30).

Over the next nine days, a parade of storms will move through the Northwest, accumulating snow every day. While no huge dumps are expected, snow totals by the end of this stretch will be impressive.

A fast-hitting snowstorm for Christmas Eve. Dry weather for Christmas Day. Light snow Thursday morning and again Thursday night. Rain & snow is likely for Friday through Sunday. Then a drier pattern starting next Monday.

Tuesday will be the last mild and quiet day before a more active few days with light overall snowfall accumulation expected. The storm track is trying to improve for January but models are in disagreement the first week of the New Year. Come by to say hi Tuesday night if doing the Farolito walk in Santa Fe!

It is a snowy start on Tuesday with snow levels back to 4,500 feet and lowering to 3,000 feet with scattered snow showers. The next storm and atmospheric river (AR) moves in Wednesday afternoon with 1-3 feet of snow through Friday morning above 4,000 feet. The active storm track continues Friday and this weekend with substantial model uncertainty regarding snow levels due to a potential warm AR.

The Christmas Eve storm rolls in later this morning and pushes out by tonight. We should see moderate amounts of snowfall with this colder system. After a dry Christmas Day, we should see more snowfall on Thursday into Friday as the storms might be a little colder than initially forecasted. Over the weekend we'll see a dry Saturday and a wetter Sunday. A drier pattern emerges next week.

The models are shifting slightly south for peak precipitation later this week, bringing high odds of double digits for Utah (previously off my list). Similar or slightly higher totals are likely for Idaho and Wyoming later this week. The Pacific Northwest gets crushed mid- to late week with warmish temperatures and strong winds.

2 inches fell on Monday evening. Dry on Tuesday, followed by snow on Wednesday, Thursday night, Friday night through Saturday, and again around next Monday, December 30. These consistent refreshes should lead to very nice conditions as we close out 2024.

Snow for Tuesday. A clear day on Wednesday. Light snow on Thursday. Rain & snow Thursday night through Sunday morning. Falling snow levels with some snow on Sunday. A drier pattern develops by the end of the year into the beginning of the new year.

On Monday night, the northern and central mountains received 1-3 inches of snow. Additional storms will occur on Wednesday, Thursday night, Friday night through Saturday, and Monday, December 30. While no single storm will produce a lot of snow, the combination of snow from all storms should soften conditions. In the longer range, the beginning of January is still looking 'interesting'.

A very active pattern will take us through the final week of 2024. Several storms in a series will bring the potential for significant accumulation throughout Utah mountains. This storm series is just what we need to get more terrain open and build a healthy mid-winter snowpack.

Warm temperatures have been the name of the game for the past few days. The good news is that we have a significant storm cycle incoming that will bring snowfall to the entire state. The devil, as always, is in the details. Let's dig in!

Monday's storm produced 5-9 inches of snow to freshen up the slopes for Christmas Eve & Day. We will see a break on Tue then a weak storm will bring light snow showers & cooler temps on Christmas morning. This will just be an appetizer what's to come as a series of strong storms will bring significant snow from Thu to Mon. The early storms will be in the colder sector, with a big warm-up Sat-Sun.

Yes, sadly, liquid precip remains on track for later this week: nearly an exact repeat of last year at this time. One upside to rain is that lift lines are likely shorter and there may be some soft, playful, springlike snow to enjoy - I am just trying to stay positive!

High-end snowfall amount materialized overnight totaling 6-7" across several resorts in the Greens and Whites. Additional snowfall is expected through 12PM on Tuesday. High pressure will build into the region of the remainder of the week with plenty of sunshine and moderating temperatures into the 30s.

The major storm that's been hammering the Alps and Pyrenees to some extent, too, is wrapping up today, with some lingering snow showers in the eastern Alps. This storm dropped significant snow across a wide region in the northern and western Alps, setting up great conditions for the holidays. The ridge moving in this week will keep things dry for the next week to ten days.

A Christmas morning storm will deliver our first snowfall of the month. Winter may finally begin to show up moving ahead.

Snow levels finally drop on Monday evening with precipitation remaining consistent into Christmas morning. The cooling trend will produce favorable conditions for ski quality as the weather relaxes Wednesday afternoon with a couple shots of good skiing and weather conditions starting Thursday to next Monday.

We will see a quick and very light system move through our region tomorrow, Christmas Eve. With high snow levels and limited moisture, we're not expecting accumulations at the resort level. The rest of the week continues to look dry and milder. The beginning of next year brings a promise for colder air and hopefully a more active pattern by the end of the 1st week of January.

This past weekend’s unsettled, snow-showery-like weather is pretty much what we will see through Friday, but just a tad bit colder. Chances of light daily accumulations will be widespread across the region. Instability ramps up over the weekend as a stronger Pacific storm moves inland across the PNW and the Northern Rockies. This is our next best chance for more moderate accumulations.

Light snowfall this past weekend buffed out the conditions across the Rockies. The recent snow has been greatly appreciated at Norquay as they added their flagship Mystic Chair to the offerings. Louise opened its space-age new Bubble, and Sunshine added the Goat’s Eye terrain. All good! Weak ridging will bring mostly dry weather into Thursday when an extended period of weak storms looks to begin.

A series of storms will move across the West this week and through the end of the year. Storms will favor the Northwest, Northern Rockies, and Sierra with lighter snowfall for Utah & Colorado on the southern fringe of the storm track. The Northeast will see 1-2 shots of snow this week as well.

Light snow and cold temperatures have brought great skiing and riding this weekend. Monday will be dry with a weak storm bringing light snow mainly to the northern Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday. Other areas will see a couple of snow showers with minimal snow accumulations. The rest of the week dries out with very small chances of light precipitation.

Snow has fallen in St. Anton for the second time in less than a week, and it will continue through Tuesday evening. Significant additional accumulations are expected before we start to dry out and warm up on Wednesday.

Snow has fallen in Zermatt for the second time in less than a week, and it will continue through Tuesday morning. Significant additional accumulations are expected before we start to dry out and warm up on Wednesday.

Snow has fallen in Chamonix for the second time in less than a week, and it will continue through Tuesday morning. Significant additional accumulations are expected before we start to dry out and warm up on Wednesday.

Volcan Osorno is the only open resort in South America, and they will offer lift-serviced turns for one more weekend. This weekend will feature active weather with a few storms moving through the region and even some accumulating snow.

The next two days will bring excellent conditions for South Island ski fields that will finish their season on a high on Sunday with fresh snow. The upper slopes of Mt Ruapehu will also receive much-needed snowfall, improving things for Whakapapa and Turoa, who still have two weeks left to go.

The Australian Season has now come to a close after Perisher finally lost the battle and flipped its switch on Wednesday after warm winds and heavy rain decimated what was left of the snowpack. Here, we'll have a look back at the season that was - a season that really struggled to get off the ground and ended all too early.

Thanks for reading this summer! For the rest of this week, a cold front moving across the Central Rockies will bring showers & t-storms to WY, CO, & NM Wed-Thu while the West Coast states will see a late-season heat wave. Next week, isolated to scattered showers & t-storms develop across the West with continued mild temps. Heading into mid-month, the PNW will trend wetter and cooler.
