Vail Daily Snow

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

End of the cycle

Summary

The snow is over (for now) and we'll look ahead to at least four dry days with lots of sunshine.

Update

On Monday, we saw light snow during the morning, then a period of intense snow between about 2 pm and 7 pm with about 7 inches at mid-mountain.

Now on Tuesday morning, there will be powder thanks to the snow on Monday evening that fell after lifts closed. Also, the sun is shining and the temperature is very cold with readings between about -5°F to 0°F across the mountain. Brr! We should warm up to about +10°F today, and the sun will do its best to warm up the air, but it will be a chilly day.

For Wednesday, we'll have warmer temperatures in the teens with partly cloudy skies, Thursday will be warmer with a high in the 20s and mostly sunny skies, and Friday will be warmer still with a high temperature close to 30°F with thin clouds filtering the sunshine.

Our next chances for snow will be on Friday night into Saturday (a weak storm), on Sunday night into Monday (a stronger storm), then maybe around February 10, and again around February 12-14.

Thanks for reading!
