Montana
2021/2022 Season Recap
Updated 1 week ago Bob Ambrose
The 21/22 La Nina Winter pretty much delivered as advertised with above average snowfall west of the Continental Divide, and generally below average snowfall for resorts east of the Divide. Highlights included a snowy December for the westside putting many operations in good shape for the Holidays. East of the Divide saw one of the snowiest April’s in memory, but it might have come a tad too late.

Final Forecast for 2021-2022
Updated 2 weeks ago Alan Smith
It has been an interesting winter across most of North America with snowy periods interspersed with long dry spells, but April has been colder and snowier than usual for just about all regions. An active pattern will continue across the Northwest & Northern Rockies through the end of the month with snow & rain showers. We also take a look at current snowpack levels and the winter as a whole.
