It's that time of year! 90+ degrees every day and not a cloud in the sky. It's a good time for getting out into the mountains and enjoying the lakes and rivers around the state. It's also a good time for looking ahead and crafting theories about the upcoming fall/winter seasons. Let's take a gander!

The monsoon has weakened after last week's surge, and the Southwest and Four Corners region will see only isolated thunderstorms with light rainfall this week. However, a cold front and Pacific moisture will move across the northern tier mid to late week with rain developing over the PNW on Wed, while the Northern Rockies will see showers & t-storms Wed-Fri.

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.
