California gets one short but useful Sierra storm from early Tuesday through Wednesday evening, with around 1-2 feet on the favored west-slope higher terrain and much less for the lower Tahoe bases and Mount Baldy. The guidance is in good agreement on a windy lead-in Monday, a colder turn as the storm comes inland Tuesday, and the best ski value […]

California skiing stays active through Monday night as the current storm keeps reloading the Sierra, while Mount Baldy picks up a shorter, lighter shot on Sunday. The best window for fresh turns at the open Sierra resorts runs from late Saturday through Sunday night, when snowfall intensity peaks, snow levels fall fast, and gusty south to southwest winds make exposed […]

A real weekend storm is the story across California, with the Sierra turning wintry again from Saturday into Monday. The biggest payoff goes to the Tahoe crest and the central Sierra, where favored terrain stacks up 2-3 feet by Monday morning, while Mammoth lands closer to 14-19 in and Mt. Rose stays much lighter on the east side at 7-10 […]

California’s main ski weather story is a weekend Sierra storm that starts warm and wind-affected on Friday, then turns colder and more productive from Friday night through Sunday. Confidence is strongest from Friday through Monday morning, when the open Sierra mountains should stack up meaningful fresh snow and the quality improves as colder air settles in. After that, next week […]

California’s ski weather turns active from Tuesday morning through Thursday afternoon, with a windy Sierra storm bringing the best refresh of the period before a quick shift back to warm spring conditions. Open Sierra and Carson Range resorts should come away with generally 3″-19″, with the biggest totals on the Tahoe crest and Mammoth more in the 7″-10″ range. Snow […]

California skiing stays spring-like through the weekend, then turns cooler, windier, and more wintry from Tuesday into Friday morning as a two-part Sierra storm brings the best snow to the crest. The most meaningful accumulations favor Kirkwood, Bear Valley, Palisades Tahoe, and Sugar Bowl, while Mammoth looks lighter and Southern California stays mostly dry. Confidence is highest from Tuesday through […]

California skiing stays in spring mode through Monday, then the Sierra turns wintry from Tuesday into early Friday with a dense-to-lighter storm that should refresh open terrain while Southern California mostly misses out. The guidance is tightly clustered on the warm, dry stretch first, then broadly aligned on a cooler Sierra storm next week, with the biggest spread tied to […]

A dry, springlike pattern is set to hold across the California Sierra, with no meaningful new snow showing up from Tahoe to Mammoth through at least Sunday. Confidence is highest from Monday morning through Sunday night, March 15, when the guidance is tightly clustered around above-normal temperatures, a short burst of ridge wind Tuesday, and then several milder afternoons that […]

A weak midweek system brings only a light refresh to the California Sierra, followed by a mostly dry and warmer stretch. Snow chances increase Wednesday afternoon and evening, then taper early Thursday, with most open resorts seeing little more than a coating to around an inch at best while winds briefly become the bigger factor for on-mountain conditions. After that, […]
