Daily Snow Forecasts

Tahoe
First Dusting for the Peaks?
Updated 3 days ago Bryan Allegretto
Nice weather through Friday. Winds pick up later Friday through the weekend. A storm moves through Sunday into Sunday night. Then cooler behind the storm into early next week. The long-range looks dry.
US and Canada
Final Forecast for 2020-2021
Updated 4 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.
Palisades Tahoe
Dry & Mild Weather...
Updated 4 months ago Bryan Allegretto
Sunny and mild weather is here. We warm up Thursday into Friday and cool back down slightly over the weekend. The pattern looks to remain dry for the next week.
I-80
Drier Pattern Sets Up...
Updated 4 months ago Bryan Allegretto
We could see a few scattered snow showers Monday. Overall it looks like a drier pattern is setting up through the extended period.
Chase Powder
Late-Season Update
Updated 4 months 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.
