Steamboat Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 8 months ago April 16, 2024
Tuesday powder!
Summary
Monday night's storm dropped 9 inches of new snow, and it should be fun to ride/surf on Tuesday morning.
Update
Monday was dry, then Monday night's storm dropped 9 inches of new snow at mid-mountain and also at the summit.
On Tuesday morning, expect some additional snow, which should end by mid-morning. Snow quality will be medium dense to pretty dense, and this will be fun to 'surf' and should do a pretty good job of covering the crunchy base. Get after the new snow early in the day as it will turn to mush as temperatures warm and if/when we see any breaks of sunshine. Temperatures will rise into the mid-30s by the afternoon.
Through Closing Day
Wednesday should be dry with a high of about 40°F, then on Thursday and Friday, we will see more clouds and maybe a few showers with temperatures in the upper 30s.
For the weekend, Saturday may also bring a few showers with a high temperature in the low 40s, and then Sunday should be a wonderful closing day with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature in the mid-40s.
My next update will be Wednesday morning.
Thanks for reading!
