Daily Snow Forecasts

Colorado
Final post of the season (but it's going to keep snowing...
Updated 1 week ago Joel Gratz
It's May 5th and I am going on summer break. But the atmosphere is still in snow mode as 4-5 inches fell across northern mountains last night and there should be at least two more storms around May 8-12 and again around May 16-19. We'll always take the snow and the moisture!
US and Canada
Final Forecast for 2020-2021
Updated 1 week 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.

Late-Season Update
Updated 3 weeks ago Powderchaser Steve
Just when I posted "final post" there were a few comments that said "I bet there's another one coming" and sure enough, they were right! It's hard to resist posting a powder alert when ingredients come together, late-season, for some good dumps. That is exactly what is going to happen.
