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

Saturday powder at Steamboat

Summary

Plenty of snow fell on Friday and Friday night. Enjoy the powder on Saturday morning!

Short Term Forecast

Friday brought intense snow all day with 9-13 inches of accumulation, and then an additional 3-7 inches of snow fell on Friday night.

Now on Saturday, enjoy the soft and fresh snow during first chair. Throughout the day, snow showers will continue with at least a few inches of additional accumulation, and potentially more if we’re lucky.

On Saturday night, another wave of storm energy will move nearby and models are split whether or not we’ll see 6+ inches or just a few more inches.

Sunday and Monday are when the consistent snowfall will come to an end with more sunshine and fewer or no snow showers.

Extended Forecast

A series of storms will bring more snow between about Tuesday, February 9, and Monday, February 15th.

I continue to have very low confidence in figuring out the details of these storms, or in which days might offer the best powder.

But the good news is that snow will be in the forecast for about one straight week and hopefully that means that the fun times we have enjoyed during early February will keep on going through mid-February.

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