Northern Idaho ski resorts will continue to get fresh snow every day through the week, with a potential mix of rain/snow on Thursday morning. Schweitzer is forecast to get 6-10 inches of new snow on Thursday night/Friday, and Silver and Lookout Pass may get 2-6 inches.

A similar forecast is projected for Brundage Mountain and Tamarack, with a few inches of new snow coming every day through Sunday, with a slight break in the action on Thursday. 

Sunshine is forecast at Sun Valley on Wednesday and Thursday, with a chance of snow Friday-Sunday. Similar forecasts are projected at Pomerelle and Magic Mountain, while Pebble Creek should get some fresh snow Wednesday night Thursday, with 2-4 inches expected.

Continued unsettled weather patterns will prevail through early next week for the northern half of the state, with a 40-60 percent chance of snow predicted through the period.

Starting on Thursday, 1/23, we’ll be releasing a fresh update to the OpenSnow iOS app. This update is based on feedback from OpenSnow users during the past year, along with ideas from our employees and forecasters because, like you, we are obsessed with finding great snow.
