Friday and Saturday are shaping up to be spectacular days with sunny skies & highs in the 70s in the valleys. However, big changes are coming next week with wetter and cooler conditions. The change will be subtle initially with scattered showers & t-storms on Sun with continued warm temps. A stronger storm system & colder air will then arrive Mon-Tue with rain & heavy mountain snow possible.

I think it is safe to say that we have seen the last snowfall for the season, but one resort is still holding strong and will be open in May. I did a bit of a wrap-up in the last post, so let's continue in that vein and dig a bit deeper. In this post, we will compare this season's results with my seasonal forecast from November and review the entire season. Let's dig in!

The winter of 2024-2025 featured near to above average snowfall across the Sierra, Central/Northern Rockies, and much of the East. Snowpack is currently melting at a faster rate than usual across much of the West due to warmer and drier conditions so far in April. Looking ahead, a storm will bring high-elevation snow showers to the Sierra & the Rockies from late this week through early next week.

This will be my final chase powder post for the 24/25 season. It has been an epic season in many areas, including northern Vermont and many northern/Central Rockies, Sierra, and Alaska spots. La Niña delivered as forecasted. Next Season will be deep somewhere! It is always deep on the Chase Powder Forecast. This post recaps the season for 24/25.

Thanks for reading this summer! For the rest of this week, a cold front moving across the Central Rockies will bring showers & t-storms to WY, CO, & NM Wed-Thu while the West Coast states will see a late-season heat wave. Next week, isolated to scattered showers & t-storms develop across the West with continued mild temps. Heading into mid-month, the PNW will trend wetter and cooler.
