Good Morning,

After a stormy start to the month, the weather is calming down with sunny, mild days ahead, featuring highs in the 60s at lower elevations and 50s at higher ones, though a brief cooldown is expected over the weekend of April 12th-13th before temperatures rebound. The forecast remains mostly dry through April 24th, with only weak systems possibly bringing light showers mid-month, while high pressure dominates the West. Ski areas are winding down, with most closing by April 20th or 27th, and updates will be sporadic unless a storm emerges, though posts will continue through April with a final wrap-up before a summer break.

With all that being said, bring on spring!

Thinking of heading up here for the weekend? We cannot stress enough the need to plan ahead and check in with both CalTrans Road Conditions as well as CHP Truckee.

PLEASE MAKE EYE CONTACT with any operator before approaching or coming near the machine.

Please make sure you plan your travels accordingly and leave yourself enough time to get there slowly!

Final Post of the 2024-2025 Season

Summary

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.

Updated Forecast

Snowpack Update & Season Summary for the West:

The early season was hit or miss across the Western U.S., with many areas receiving below-average snowfall through January, while Canada received heavy early-season snowfall followed by an unusually dry January.

February and March were much snowier across the Western U.S., which helped to salvage the season. Snowfall in Canada and Washington continued to underwhelm in February before turning more active in March, which provided a nice late-season boost to the season.

By April 1st, snowpack was near to above average across the Sierra, Oregon Cascades, and Central and Northern Rockies. Snowpack was a bit below average across Washington and Western Canada, and well below average across the Southwest.

Snowpack compared to average from November 2024 through April 2025:

April has been a quiet month so far with above-normal temperatures and below-normal snowfall for most areas in the West, and snowpack is receding quickly as a result. One exception is the Canadian Rockies near the Alberta/BC border, which have received more frequent storms this month.
