Daily Snow Forecasts

Colorado
End of the inbounds ski season, start of the smoke season
Updated 1 month ago Joel Gratz
Arapahoe Basin's last day was Sunday, June 6, and that marked the end of the inbounds ski season in Colorado. Unfortunately, today, Monday, June 7 marks the start of the smoke season as wildfires in Arizona will start to push smoke into Colorado.
US and Canada
Final Forecast for 2020-2021
Updated 2 months ago Alan Smith
An active pattern across the Rockies continues to deliver late-season snow to the remaining ski areas that are open in Colorado. Later this week, a storm will bring high elevation snow to the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies, and over the weekend, portions of the Northern U.S. Rockies (especially Montana) could see heavy snow.
