SKI REPORT

October 11 2024

As we slide into the thick of the ski season, fresh powder is setting the stage for spectacular conditions across multiple ski resorts. Snow enthusiasts should take note of the latest snowfall totals and forecasts promising an abundance of white gold in the days ahead.

In Washington state, Swift Creek has reported a modest 5 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours, and with increasing clouds, skiers might expect more flurries to enhance the base. However, the spotlight in snowfall belongs to Alaska, where significant snowfall is forecasted. The Grandview area is expected to be blanketed with an impressive 116 inches of snow, accompanied by a mix of snow showers and possible rain, making it a paradise for powder chasers. Nearby, Grouse Creek Divide and Turnagain Pass are not far behind, with forecasts of 91 and 80 inches respectively, promising thrilling conditions for downhill and backcountry skiing.

In Colorado, Zirkel and Lily Pond have enjoyed fresh coatings of 4 and 3 inches with sunny skies, making for excellent groomed runs and clear visibility. While these accumulations may be less dramatic than in Alaska, the well-known Colorado resorts near these areas, such as Steamboat Springs near Zirkel, will offer solid conditions and ample opportunity for skiers and snowboarders of all levels to carve out their perfect winter day. As you plan your next mountain adventure, these are the destinations with the promise of the heaviest snowfall totals for today and in the coming days. Grab your gear and get ready to enjoy the bounty that winter has bestowed upon the nation's top ski spots.
