In addition to strong winds, the series of storms will bring considerably warmer weather and a chance of precipitation from today through Tuesday. While temperatures are expected to gradually rise above freezing through Monday, surface temperatures may remain below freezing due to the recent cold weather.

Manitoba Mountain skiers can look forward to a fresh 2 inches of snowfall overnight, adding to the current snowpack depth of 13 inches. While this is a welcome boost, it remains notably below the seasonal average, with the snowpack lagging by 44.2% compared to historical norms for this time of year. Temperatures hovered around freezing (32°F overnight), contributing to a light, fluffy snow consistency ideal for carving turns. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) sits at 4 inches, reflecting relatively low-density snow conditions. With daytime highs forecast to reach nearly 35°F, conditions on the slopes will likely soften by mid-afternoon, so early runs are recommended for the best experience.
Looking ahead, the forecast is promising for powder enthusiasts, with 34.7 inches of snow anticipated in the next 24 hours and a cumulative 71 inches expected in the next 5 days. This rapid accumulation could significantly improve the snowpack deficit and bolster mid-season skiing prospects. While the current depth may limit off-piste exploration, groomed trails should offer enjoyable conditions today. For those familiar with Manitoba Mountain’s typically generous snowfall, this season has been somewhat lean thus far, but the upcoming storm cycle offers hope for a revitalized backcountry experience and a return to the area’s renowned deep powder runs.
