Ski enthusiasts looking for fresh powder should turn their attention to Alaska, where significant snowfall is forecasted in the coming days. The Alyeska Resort near Girdwood, Alaska, close to the Grandview and Mt. Alyeska sensors, is expected to be under a blanket of snow with forecasts showing up to 39 inches in Grandview and 30 inches in the vicinity of Mt. Alyeska. These substantial snowfalls are accompanied by showers, creating the potential for excellent skiing conditions post-precipitation. However, skiers should be prepared for variable weather, including possible rain on snow, which could affect surface conditions.
In Colorado, the latest observations indicate lighter snowfall over the past 24 hours, with resorts near Joe Wright, Lily Pond, Upper San Juan, Vallecito, and Wager Gulch sensors all reporting up to 4 inches of new snow. While the amounts are modest compared to Alaska, resorts such as Wolf Creek near Upper San Juan and Purgatory at Durango Mountain near Vallecito, are known for their favorable conditions and should offer good skiing on sunny and windy days, as forecasted.
With these updates, the most impacted ski areas across the nation are undoubtedly in Alaska, where Alyeska Resort stands out with heavy snowfall anticipated. Colorado's resorts will offer more mellow conditions, better suited for those who prefer leisurely runs under clear skies. Skiers and snowboarders should monitor local weather reports closely as conditions can change rapidly, especially in alpine environments. Whether it's the promise of Alaskan powder or the charm of sunny Colorado slopes, there's plenty of winter enjoyment to be had on the mountains.
