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

The upper mountain received 5 feet of snow during the month of October, and lifts will start spinning on Friday, October 15th. See this link for a list of terrain and lifts that will be open: https://www.steamboat.com/things-to-do/events/steamboat-opening-day

Between now and opening day, we will see mostly dry weather with two chances for very weak storms.

The first storm will bring a few clouds and a few snowflakes on Monday morning, and the second storm might also bring a few flakes on Wednesday. Even though each system will NOT produce much or any natural snow, the storms will cool temperatures, and this will allow mountain crews to continue snowmaking operations during the nighttime.

Looking ahead about 10 days, I am keeping my eye on November 17-18 as the next chance for a more significant storm. And the longer-range models do show better chances for storm activity after about November 20th, so I am cautiously optimistic for more snow during the last third of November.

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