Welcome to the Steamboat Daily Snow for the 2019-2020 season!

Thanks to about 5 feet of snow that fell during the month of October, Steamboat just announced that they will be opening early with a date set for Friday, November 15!

In the meantime, we’ll see dry and mostly sunny weather from today (Friday) through opening day. High temperatures should be the upper 30s to low 40s with lows in the upper teens to low 20s. These readings should allow mountain crews to make snow at night, and there won’t be much melting during the day due to the lowering sun angle.

I see a chance for weak storms around Sunday-Monday, November 10-11, Thursday, November 14, and Sunday, November 17. If any of these systems trend stronger, I will let you know, but for now, expect a few more clouds and maybe a few flakes.

I’ll keep you posted if and when I see a change in this dry pattern, and in the meantime, don’t fret because neither a snowy October or a dry November can tell us anything about snowfall from December through April. If we can grab a few good storms later this month into early December, we’ll be sitting really pretty.

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