That's it for the Oregon Daily Snow for the 2024-2025 ski season. Thanks for reading, and I hope you had a great time on the slopes.

The winter of 2024-2025 featured near to above average snowfall across the Sierra, Central/Northern Rockies, and much of the East.

Looking ahead, a storm will bring high-elevation snow showers to the Sierra & the Rockies from late this week through early next week.
