Vail Daily Snow

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

Trending sunny on Sunday

Summary

Following fun powder on Saturday, we'll trend toward dry and sunnier weather on Sunday. Then two storms will bring more snow next week (but the mountain will be closed).

Update

Saturday was a fun powder day with about 6 inches of snow from the recent storm on top of 6 inches of snow from the previous few days. This led to pretty soft conditions and a gift of a powder day for mid-April.

Now on Sunday morning, clouds and snow flurries are hanging on, but I think they will dissipate through the morning.

We should wind up with a day that has some sunshine and drier weather and the high temperature should rise into the low 30s. It'll be a lovely end to a fun season:-)

Looking ahead to next week, while the mountain will be closed, the atmosphere will keep the action coming. Monday and Tuesday will bring snow showers and light accumulations, then from later Tuesday to Wednesday morning, we will likely see moderate to intense snow and the chance for 5-10 inches of accumulation.

And if that weren't enough, following dry weather from later Wednesday to Thursday, the next storm will bring more snow from Friday into Friday night with maybe 4-8 inches of accumulation.

I'll be back tomorrow with my final season wrap-up post.

Thanks for reading and enjoy closing day!
