Friday

Our latest storm arrived on Thursday night and delivered anywhere from a coating to up to 4-5 inches at Beaver Creek and Vail. This storm came in warm and wet so expect a denser snow quality and the potential for a rain/snow mix across the lower elevations.

This initial wave will now continue to bring off-and-on snow through Friday before fading off through Friday night. The best chance for heavy snow was likely on Thursday night but there could be one more uptick on Friday afternoon. Temps will climb into the 20s and wind speeds could steadily increase across the upper elevations.

Saturday

It does look like we'll catch a break between waves as mostly dry conditions settle in on Saturday. We could even receive partly to mostly sunny skies in the morning for a short time ahead of more cloud coverage, gusty winds, and increasing chances for snow as we head into Saturday evening.

Sunday - Monday

The final wave in this cycle will arrive through Saturday night and into Sunday. We'll then be tracking the heaviest snowfall to arrive by Sunday evening and into Sunday night as colder air filters in and the wind direction slowly shifts to blow more out of the west and eventually out of the north-northwest through Monday.

This colder air and wind shift should provide us with a lighter snow quality through Monday so try to target Monday as the best day to catch fresh snow next week. Tuesday morning could also be good if snow continues to hang around after the lifts close on Monday but any sun will quickly turn it to mashed potatoes.

Later Next Week & Beyond

Following the active weather through Monday, clearing skies and dry conditions will begin to prevail on Tuesday and we should remain dry through at least next Thursday, April 4.

Our temps will also warm up rapidly by the middle of next week so expect full-on spring skiing with firm conditions in the morning and softer corn/slush during the afternoon.

Looking further ahead, we'll be tracking our next chance for snow around the weekend of April 6/7 as a storm sets up to our west. It could bring us an initial wave around Saturday, April 6, and then again early the following week. As always, we'll dial in the details as we get closer.

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 hourly or daily "Snow Ratio" forecast.

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 app installed (App Store / Google Play > OpenSnow > Update) or via the OpenSnow website (OpenSnow.com).
