Final Forecast for 2021-2022
Updated 1 month 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.

Final Post - 21/22 Recap, Highlights, & State of the...
Updated 1 month ago Powderchaser Steve
It's always sad to sign off for the season. This season was full of upside and downside swings, large events followed by drought periods. Chasing Powder was essential to staying in the deep and that even included a last-minute trip to Austria. There is some snow in the forecast!
