Daily Snow Forecasts

Colorado
Final post of the season (but it's going to keep snowing...
Updated 1 day 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 2 days 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.
Chase Powder
Late-Season Update
Updated 1 week 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.
