Hawaii ski areas
Live snowfall, snowpack depth, and 5-day forecasts at every Hawaii ski + snowboard area, with per-resort interactive weather meteograms.
A modest winter weather pattern is developing across the nation, with the most significant snowfall expected to impact Alaska's remote North Slope region over the next 48 hours. While the Lower 48 has seen minimal accumulation in the past day, attention now turns northward where a vigorous system is poised to deliver meaningful totals to some of the continent's most isolated terrain. For snow enthusiasts tracking powder conditions, Alaska's Brooks Range and surrounding areas are emerging as the primary zones of interest.
Over the past 24 hours, snowfall has been disappointingly light across the continental United States. Washington's Sawmill Ridge in the Cascades managed just 2 inches despite its impressive 170-inch base, with forecasters calling for haze transitioning to possible thunderstorms—hardly the conditions powder seekers dream about. Similarly, Colorado's Vallecito monitoring station recorded 2 inches on a meager 3-inch base, with shower and thunderstorm activity dominating the forecast rather than sustained snowfall. These marginal totals reflect a pattern lacking the deep cold and moisture necessary for significant accumulation across traditional ski country.
The real story, however, is unfolding in Alaska's Far North, where Imnaviat Creek is forecast to receive 6 inches of fresh snow amid rain-snow mix and areas of fog. This remote location along the Brooks Range pipeline corridor sits at the epicenter of an incoming system that should deliver the nation's heaviest snowfall through midweek. Nearby Atigun Pass, a critical transportation corridor at elevation, is expecting 4 inches with challenging conditions including freezing fog and scattered precipitation. Even Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic coast could see 2 inches, though the snow may transition to rain as temperatures fluctuate near freezing. While these totals won't rival major Sierra or Rockies events, they represent significant accumulation for Alaska's northern reaches where any fresh snow enhances already-challenging winter travel conditions. For researchers studying Arctic snowpack dynamics or adventurous backcountry enthusiasts, this system warrants close attention as it develops across one of North America's most unforgiving winter landscapes.

About Hawaii ski conditions
Where do the Hawaii ski conditions come from?
Fresh-snow totals are aggregated from resort-side reporting, NOAA's NOHRSC snow analysis grid, and nearby SNOTEL stations. Snowpack and SWE typically come from the closest SNOTEL station to each resort.
What's a meteogram?
A compact 15-day weather chart showing temperature, precipitation, wind, and weather-symbol forecast in one view. It's the same data professional forecasters use, rendered for quick at-a-glance trip planning.
What about backcountry conditions in Hawaii?
Always consult your regional avalanche center — resort conditions don't translate to backcountry safety. The U.S. avalanche center directory is at avalanche.org.
Can I get an alert when fresh snow falls at a Hawaii resort?
Yes. Save any ski area as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a fresh-snow threshold, and you'll get a push the moment it crosses. Free with a Snoflo account.
