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.

A cold low-pressure circulation has cut off from its parent low over Arctic Canada and will track S/SE into the Rockies Sun AM through Mon PM. As the core of the cutoff low tracks west of the Divide, counterclockwise (east to west) waves of moisture will bring a snowy 24 to 36-hour period to Sunshine, Lake Louise, Norquay, and Nakiska, all could see 20 to 25 cm added up by Tue AM.
