Wow! What a day we had on Saturday. Not only was it the third day in a row with fresh snow, and not only did we receive 4 inches during the day at mid-mountain, but the summit measurement was a whopping 9-16 inches of snow. Now that’s a powder day! And there’s more snow on the way…

Sunday

Most of the day will be dry, partly sunny, and cold with temperatures staying in the single digits and teens. Also, there could be a gusty wind from the east that could affect Gondola operations.

Sunday night and Monday

Expect light snow showers with just a few inches of accumulation. This will not be a big storm for Steamboat, but every flake helps the snow conditions to stay soft and super fun.

Tuesday

Will likely be dry with plenty of sun. Enjoy this brief break in the weather.

Wednesday into Thursday

Expect another weak system that could drop a few inches of snow. Like the Sunday night and Monday system, this will not be a big storm for Steamboat, but additional snow is always welcome!

Friday and Saturday

The combination of a storm over southern Colorado and another system to the north of Colorado could deliver additional snow. If we get lucky, there could be enough snow for low-end or moderate powder on late Friday or Saturday. Stay tuned.

Break in the storms on Sunday through Tuesday

Any lingering snow should end by Sunday (December 9) and dry weather should continue through about Tuesday (December 11).

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!
