Our snowpack is still near or above average thanks to the abundant snowfall from late December through early February. However, we have only received 8 inches of fresh snow in March as of the 22nd. It’s time to change this and bring back the pow!

I see four potential storms during the next 10 days. The first storm may be the strongest and it should bring showers on Thursday afternoon with the possibility for heavier snow on Thursday night. Expect at least 3-6 inches on the Friday morning snow report, and if the storm slows down just a little bit, we could get more than this. Also, snow may fall for a few hours after the Friday morning 5am snow report, so plan to ski Friday morning if you’re in need of fresh powder!

Following Storm #1, we should see dry weather from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon, and then Storm #2 should drop 2-4 inches on Saturday night and Sunday. After that system, Storm #3 will likely bring snow early next week, with Storm #4 bringing snow later next week into the weekend of April 1-2.
