A cold low pressure system will track across the Northwest and Northern Rockies over the weekend, bringing rain and high elevation snow to the Cascades and Northern Rockies along with chilly temperatures. Early next week, moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Erick in the Eastern Pacific will reach New Mexico with heavy rain possible, while Colorado will also see an uptick in thunderstorms.

With Big Sky and Lookout Pass closing over the past weekend, Montana’s 24/25 (lift-served) ski season has officially concluded. In this final post, I’ll give an overview of the season’s snowfall, deep highlights, and snowpack graphs from popular ski areas and resorts across the Treasure State.

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.
