Ski enthusiasts and resort-goers, it's time to take note of the latest snowfall patterns sweeping across the nation's prime winter retreats. Leading the charge is the breathtaking Crater Meadows in Idaho, which received a substantial 33 inches of new snow, making it an ideal destination for those seeking deep powder runs. The snow base there is an impressive 107 inches, ensuring excellent conditions for both skiers and snowboarders. Nearby ski resorts to keep a close eye on include Sun Valley and Schweitzer Mountain, both of which have the potential to benefit from these conditions given their proximity to the reported snowfall.

In Wyoming, the story is one of consistent snow showers, with Granite Creek and Snider Basin both recording 12 and 10 inches of new snow, respectively. The state's legendary Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, although not directly adjacent to these sensors, could see spillover effects as the snow continues to blanket the region. Meanwhile, in Oregon, Annie Springs and Moss Springs each reported 8 inches of new snow, with forecasts suggesting more on the horizon. Ski areas such as Mount Bachelor and Timberline Lodge are likely to be positively impacted by these wintry gifts from the sky.

Looking forward, Alaska is poised to become a winter wonderland with forecasts predicting over 50 inches of fresh snow at Grandview, and sizable dumps at Esther Island and Turnagain Pass. While Alaska may not be as easily accessible for all, this bounty of snow is excellent news for local and visiting skiers to the state's resorts like Alyeska Resort, which is anticipated to receive ample fresh powder. As snow enthusiasts gear up for the coming days, these regions offer some of the most promising conditions for those eager to carve their mark on the slopes. Remember to stay safe and check the latest conditions before you head out.
