Steamboat Daily Snow

Final Post of the 2024-2025 Season

Summary

Thanks for reading the Steamboat Daily Snow this season, and best wishes for a wonderful spring, summer, and fall!

Update

I appreciate your readership and support of the Steamboat Daily Snow!

This 2024-2025 season at Steamboat was mixed, with a few solid storm cycles and a few extended periods of drier weather.

Storms during November created a deeper-than-average snowpack, December was mostly dry for the first three weeks of the month, and then a storm cycle delivered snow during 14 of 15 days between December 24 and January 7.

The deepest storm cycle occurred in mid-February when the atmosphere dropped 55 inches of snow during the eight days from February 12-19.

By early April, the snowpack at Steamboat and the northern mountains of Colorado topped out just above average, and then very warm weather caused a rapid melt during mid-April.

The total wintertime snowfall at mid-mountain was about 304 inches.

All of the statistics that I reference here are available on Steamboat's "Snow Report" tab on OpenSnow.

I hope that you have a wonderful spring, summer, and fall, and again, thanks for reading the Steamboat Daily Snow this season!
