Ski report FAQ

About Minnesota ski conditions

Where do the Minnesota 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 Minnesota?

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 Minnesota 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.
