Big Howdy to all the Big Sky pow riders out there on this first post of the 20/21 season! With La Nina in full effect, we look forward to a snowier than average fall/early winter to start off the season. 

Current natural snow depths range from around 8-10” at the Village to 12-20” mid- mountain and up. Expect another 3-6” on top of that by Saturday evening along with some very strong south winds.

Besides the natural snowpack, colder than average temps over the last 7-10 days have allowed aggressive snowmaking across the lower mountain. This scenario looks to last into Monday when high-pressure will allow daytime temps to rise to or slightly above freezing.

Next week, expect above average temps with daily doses of snow showers/flurries (light accumulations possible each day) until Thursday when another cold front arrives. The various weather models are all over the place from Thursday on, so stay tuned for my next update early next week.

Opening day is looking good and is just around the bend (Nov. 26^th)! Thanks for tuning in.
