A surge of monsoonal moisture will lead to an increase in thunderstorms across the Southwest from Thu to Sun, with UT, CO, & NM favored for the most consistent activity. Northern AZ will see active days Thu-Fri with fewer storms in the days to follow. The Northern Rockies will also see scattered t-storms each day in this pattern. Temps will also not be crazy hot by mid-July standards.

Thanks for reading this season, and best wishes for a wonderful summer and fall! In this post, I share my best powder day of the season, discuss this season's snowpack, and offer ways OpenSnow will be helpful during your summer adventures.

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.
