Snow returns to Steamboat on Tuesday

Summary

Sunday and Monday will be dry, then snow will start on Tuesday and could last through Sunday, February 14th.

Short Term Forecast

Saturday morning offered excellent powder, I hope that you enjoyed it!

Snow continued to fall on Saturday with 3-4 inches during the morning, then on Saturday night, snow showers continued with 3-4 additional inches at the summit.

Now on Sunday, expect a dry day with at least some sunshine and also strong winds with gusts of 40+ mph at the summit.

Monday will also be dry with some sunshine and continued gusty winds.

Extended Forecast

We will see three rounds of snow spread across six days. Round #1 should be Tuesday to Thursday, round #2 should be Friday to Saturday, and round #3 should be Sunday to Monday. Thanks to plentiful moisture streaming into Colorado, each stormy period could bring 5-10+ inches of snow.

There are nuances to the forecast that we’ll have to figure out, like the exact timing of each round of intense snow, if a cold front will stall near or over the mountain, and a few other details. But for now, the overall forecast looks excellent and we should enjoy multiple powder days during the coming week.

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