About this resort

Snow Bluff

Snow Bluff ski resort in Missouri offers various trails for all skill levels, with the best ones being the intermediate and advanced runs. The resort has a vertical drop of 300 feet and features four lifts. An interesting fact about Snow Bluff is that it was originally owned by the Walt Disney Company in the 1980s. For beginner skiers, the Gentle Ben trail is recommended as it has a gradual slope, perfect for learning. After a long day on the slopes, the best apres ski bar is the Snow Bluff Pub which offers a cozy atmosphere, great drinks, and live music on the weekends.

Terrain mix: Snow-Bluff Ski Resort in Missouri does not have any pertinent mountain ranges or significant mountain aspects. The resort is located in the Ozarks region of Missouri, which is characterized by rolling hills and wooded areas rather than towering mountains. Snow-Bluff Ski Resort offers skiing and snowboarding on man-made slopes with artificial snow, making it a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts in the region.

326 FXUS63 KSGF 060816 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 216 AM CST Fri Nov 6 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - A few areas of drizzle through late this morning, dissipating into early afternoon. - Freeze Warning and Frost Advisory introduced for portions of the area late tonight into Saturday morning. Lows in the mid/upper 20s to mid 30s. - Cooler temperatures this weekend, with additional areas of frost and freeze on Sunday morning. - Warming trend returns early next week, with temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 215 AM CST Fri Nov 6 2026 This Morning-This Afternoon: A front has cleared the area, with cooler air filtering into the area this morning. Behind the frontal passage, low-level moisture remain present with upslope lift occuring along the Ozark Plateau. This will support a few areas of drizzle through this morning, with coverage generally confined to the spine of the plateau and north. Confidence is lower in drizzle making it into far southern MO, but it remains plausible and captured with 10-15% PoPs. Drizzle should gradually come to an end early this afternoon as low-level moisture erodes. As this occurs, low- level clouds will also begin to dissipate with highs progged to reach into the 50s to near 60. Tonight: As clouds scattered into this evening and tonight, calm winds will give way to a cold night across the area. NBM guidance continues to depict lows in the middle/upper 20s to lower/middle 30s, with the lowest temperatures focused east of Highway 65. This sets the stage for areas of frost and freeze tonight into Saturday morning. The latest probabilistic guidance suggests the highest probabilities (60-90%) for below freezing temperatures are focused from Lake of the Ozarks through West Plains, and east. It is here, that a Freeze Warning is in effect. There is even the potential for lows in the lower/middle 20s across the eastern Ozarks. Meanwhile, a Frost Advisory has been introduced for the remainder of the counties west of the Freeze Warning. It is plausible that sheltered locations and valleys within the Advisory reach below freezing, though confidence is a bit lower. Overall, this will bring the area one step closer to the official end of the growing season. Some increasing cloud cover towards sunrise on Saturday may keep a few locations a bit warmer in the middle 30s, though the extent of cloud coverage is not expected to be widespread at this time. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Issued at 215 AM CST Fri Nov 6 2026 Saturday-Sunday: Cooler and dry weather persist into the weekend. As high pressure settles overhead, highs remain in the 50s to near 60 on Saturday afternoon. Another cold night into Sunday morning, with areas of frost and freeze likely again. Additional headlines will be assessed as needed, as we come to the end of the growing season. A touch warmer into Sunday with seasonable highs back into the middle 60s. This will mark the beginning of a warming trend into next week. Next Week: A ridge overspreads the central CONUS into next week, with increasing mid-level heights supporting a warming trend. Confidence is high in temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal, with daily highs in the upper 60s to around 70. Overnight lows in the upper 30s to middle 40s. There is some uncertainty in the extent of the mild temperatures late in the week, as ensemble guidance begin to diverge. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 1100 PM CST Thu Nov 5 2026 Some areas of drizzle and low ceilings overspread the area into early Friday morning as the front has cleared the area. This will result in visibilities around 4 to 6 miles, in addition to ceilings around 800 to 1500 feet. The greatest confidence in drizzle is confined to along and north of the Ozark Plateau, which includes KSGF and KJLN. Otherwise, MVFR ceilings prevail through Friday morning before gradually scattering into the afternoon. Light north winds at 5 to 10 knots through the period. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

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 Snow Bluff

Where does the snow data for Snow Bluff 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 Snow Bluff?

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 Snow Bluff?

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.
