Steamboat Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 6 years ago April 8, 2019

Update

Monday and Tuesday

These days will be dry, partly sunny, and warm with a high temperature in the 40s on Wednesday and maybe touching 50 degrees on Tuesday. Expect classic spring skiing with firm conditions in the morning and softer/slushy conditions in the afternoon.

Storm Wednesday & Thursday

We will see showers late Tuesday night, then expect steadier snow on Wednesday and Wednesday night.

I will stick with my earlier forecast for 5-10 inches of snow, and there’s a chance that we’ll go above this range if everything comes together perfectly.

The best skiing should be on Wednesday afternoon after the new snow on Wednesday has softened the slopes, and if we can hang on to some snow on Wednesday night, then Thursday morning will be very good as well.

Closing Weekend

A storm will track to the south of Colorado. While snow showers may hang around on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, accumulations should be light since the storm’s track will be pretty far away. I’ll let you know if this changes. Closing day of this amazing season will be on April 14th.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
