With 3-4 inches of snow on Friday afternoon, another 1-2 inches on Friday night, and snow falling now on Saturday morning, it’s another powder day for Steamboat. Get out and enjoy!

More snow on Saturday

A wave of storm energy (vorticity) is moving across western Colorado on Saturday and this will bring snow to Steamboat through midday with an additional 2-4 inches on top of the 4-5 inches that accumulated from Friday afternoon through Friday night. We’ve enjoyed fresh snow for three days in a row, and these multi-day storms are the key to creating super soft and fun conditions. Enjoy!

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

A storm will track over southern Colorado and Steamboat should stay mostly dry during this time (though there could be a few snow showers now and again). All days will be chilly with highs in the teens, and there could be a gusty wind from the east on Sunday that could affect Gondola operations.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

The best I can say is that we might see times of light snow with light to moderate accumulations. The storm track is not one that will favor northern Colorado, but a combination of moisture moving in from a southern storm and energy from a northern storm might combine to bring us some snow. Stay tuned.

Sunny December 9-11

We should see a break in the stormy weather from Sunday to Tuesday, December 9-11. These days will likely be sunnier and warmer.

Next storm on December 12

Most models show the next chance for snow will be around December 12-13 with another storm possible around the weekend of December 15-16. The storm train should continue to chug along!
