Good Morning,

And just like that…we are looking at a forecast with 40+ inches of new snowfall in the next 10 days. 

Just when we thought Spring was ready to show its face, we’re reminded why we call ourselves the spring skiing capital! Stay tuned for updates and we are here to handle whatever comes our way next.

With all that being said, bring on the snow!

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!

Rain & Snow Showers Wednesday Night – Friday…

Summary

Mostly sunny and mild on Wednesday, with increased clouds and winds Wednesday afternoon. An unsettled pattern starts Wednesday night with rain & snow showers possible through Friday evening. A break on Saturday before more storms by Sunday into the first week of April.

Short Term Forecast

Wednesday Weather:

Mostly sunny Wednesday morning with some clouds moving in during the afternoon, and a few scattered showers are possible near the crest by evening. 

Highs in the 50s on the mountains to near 60 degrees at lake level. Ridgetop winds gusting up to 30-50+ mph from the SW by evening.

Wednesday Night – Friday Showers:

Scattered showers continue Wednesday night, mainly near the crest, and then steadier showers move in Thursday. Highs into the 40s for the lower elevations and 30s for the higher elevations. Ridgetop winds gusting up to 70-90+ mph closing some lifts.

Scattered rain and snow showers through Friday should diminish Friday evening and clear out by Saturday morning. Lighter winds Friday, but still a little gusty over the ridges. Highs in the 30s.

The latest model runs haven’t changed much with the total precipitation forecasts through Friday. They show 0.35 – 0.9 inches falling near the crest, with only up to 0.3 inches reaching the east side of the basin. The model average near the crest is still around 0.6 inches this morning.

You can see the individual model runs and our model forecast taking the average on our new forecast model tool found on the Snow Summary tab for any location. 

The snow levels start very high up near 10,000 – 11,000 ft. Wednesday evening and only fall to around 7800 – 8800 ft. by Thursday morning, 6000-7000 ft. by Thursday evening, dipping to around 5000-6000 ft. Thursday night, back up to 6300 – 7300 ft. Friday, and 4500-5500 ft. Friday night as the showers diminish and clear by Saturday morning.

The best shot at some steadier showers looks to be during the day on Thursday and then Friday into Friday evening. Although we could see some wet snow to lake level Thursday night into Friday, we don’t expect much in the way of accumulations with the warm surfaces, with the best chance of a coating Friday night.

Above 8000 ft., we could see a coating up to 3 inches of snow on the east side of the basin and 2-6 inches up along the crest. A reminder that this is spread out over 2.5 days, so not much per 12-hour period.
