Jackson Hole, Grand Targhee, and Squaw Alpine have been the big winners over the past 5 days. The Teton destinations have received 24-30 inches from Sunday, January 3rd through Tuesday, January 5th.

We'll now transition into a quieter weather pattern for most destinations through at least Wednesday, January 13th. The Canadian destinations should continue to pick up light totals but just a few inches at best over any 24-48 hour period.

Extended Forecast

Looking ahead to the second half of January, we'll have to wait for a monster high-pressure ridge to clear out from the Western US. The takeaway from the image below is mostly dry and mild weather for much of the West, and a cooler/stormier pattern for the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

We could see a few light chances for snow from about January 12th through the 20th but we'll really need a big shift in our weather pattern to get stronger storms to return to most destinations.

As always, stay up-to-date with our team of local forecasters. They will provide you with excellent local analysis and really help you dial in the details with updates every morning.
