About this resort

Possum Hills Ski Area

Possum Hills Ski Area is a small ski resort located in Texas, offering a variety of trails for all skill levels. The best trails are the Black Diamond and Double Black Diamond runs, which provide a challenging experience for advanced skiers. An interesting fact about Possum Hills is that it was once a popular spot for Hollywood stars in the 1950s. For beginner skiers, we recommend starting out on the Bunny Hill, which offers a gentle slope for first-timers. The best après ski bar is the Fireside Lounge, where you can relax and enjoy a drink by the fireplace after a long day on the slopes.

Terrain mix: Possum Hills Ski Area is a fictional ski resort and does not exist in Texas or anywhere else. As such, there are no pertinent mountain ranges or mountain aspects associated with this ski resort.

039 FXUS64 KLUB 010520 AFDLUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1220 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1217 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026 - September starts where August left off hot and dry. - A few afternoon storms are possible Wednesday and Thursday near the NM border. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 1030 PM CDT Mon Aug 31 2026 It may be September in a few hours, but summer`s grip remains strong which is not unusual for Texas. Winds in the 20-30k foot layer remain SSE on the back side of a broad ridge, the center of which is taking aim on the Ozarks tonight and eventually the Great Smokies by Wednesday. As the high shoves farther east, our upper-level winds will veer more SW on Tuesday and Wednesday helping to advect a layer of monsoonal moisture closer to the TX-NM border. It remains too unlikely for any of these monsoonal showers and storms to drift into our territory on Tuesday, but Wednesday holds a bit more potential for some afternoon showers and storms near the NM border. Otherwise, high temps on Tuesday will dial back to their lowest levels all week with low/mid 90s on the Caprock and upper 90s/100 elsewhere before creeping higher on Wednesday. Similar to Monday, less subsidence and sufficient boundary layer moisture will support scattered cumulus with precious shade through the afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Monday) Issued at 1030 PM CDT Mon Aug 31 2026 On Thursday, the remains of Edouard should be found wobbling around central or northern Texas while we hold onto a fraction of monsoonal moisture largely anchored over southern AZ and NM. This moist plume should aid in another round of very spotty afternoon showers/storms across our far W-NW zones. High temps should reach their hottest readings for the week on Thursday before thicknesses decline thereafter accompanying deeper ESE flow thanks to the upper high retreating and staying just north of I40. Ensemble spread grows this weekend into next week regarding this high`s position and strength, yet it remains close enough to us to keep a lid on additional precip chances. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1217 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026 VFR and light southerly winds will continue. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ SHORT TERM...93 LONG TERM....93 AVIATION...19

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Possum Hills Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Possum Hills Ski Area come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Possum Hills Ski Area?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Possum Hills Ski Area?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
