Looking Ahead
Summary
Following light snow during the week of Thanksgiving, the snow forecast will be quiet for most Collective destinations. We will need a big weather pattern shift to get the goods back into the Western US.

Many Collective Pass destinations are opening during the week of Thanksgiving, including Aspen Snowmass, Big Sky, Jackson Hole, and Squaw Valley.
Thankfully, recent snow and cold temperatures have helped to prep these areas, including multiple FEET for Squaw Valley on Wednesday, November 17th, and a mid-mountain base depth of 25-30 inches at Jackson Hole.
For the rest of Thanksgiving week, Alta/Snowbird in Utah and Jackson Hole in Wyoming will receive 3-6 inches through Thanksgiving Day ahead of joining much of the rest of the Western United States with cool and dry weather for the final days of November.
Due to current restrictions and resort reservations, please make sure to make your travel plans well in advance. This is where our 10-day snow forecasts, as well as our team of local forecasters, will become very handy.

Extended Forecast
We'll now have to wait for quite some time before we see significant snow return to nearly all Collective destinations.
The longer-range models are setting up a mostly dry pattern for nearly the entire Western US through the first 10 days of December. We could receive a hint of light snow here and there but we'll likely have to wait until the second half of December for the goods to really return to most destinations.
Thanks for reading! Next update on Wednesday, December 2nd.
