New-Mexico ski areas
Live snowfall, snowpack depth, and 5-day forecasts at every New-Mexico ski + snowboard area, with per-resort interactive weather meteograms.
A tale of two snow events is unfolding across the United States, with Alaska's North Slope poised to receive the most substantial accumulations over the coming days while scattered locations in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado Rockies recorded modest snowfall in the past 24 hours. The most impressive forecast totals are concentrated along Alaska's remote northern corridor, where Imnaviat Creek is expected to receive 6 inches of new snow accompanied by rain/snow mix and areas of fog. Meanwhile, recent observations show Sawmill Ridge in Washington's Cascades and Vallecito in southwestern Colorado each picked up 2 inches, providing a welcome refresh to their respective snowpacks.
The developing Alaskan system deserves particular attention from snow enthusiasts, as it's set to impact the state's critical Dalton Highway corridor over the next 48 hours. Atigun Pass, the highest mountain pass in Alaska at 4,739 feet elevation, is forecast to receive 4 inches of new snow with challenging conditions including freezing fog and scattered rain/snow mix. This accumulation, while building on a minimal 1-inch base, represents significant travel impacts for this remote transportation artery. Further north, Prudhoe Bay—despite its Arctic location at 70.275°N latitude—faces a marginal 2-inch forecast with conditions transitioning from snow to rain, highlighting the complex temperature dynamics at play in this early-season event.
In the Lower 48, conditions remain relatively quiet following yesterday's light accumulations. Washington's Sawmill Ridge, situated in the central Cascades near 47.16°N, added 2 inches to its robust 170-inch base, though upcoming weather featuring haze and possible thunderstorms suggests unstable atmospheric conditions rather than sustained winter precipitation. Colorado's Vallecito, operating with a concerningly thin 3-inch base in the San Juan Mountains, also received 2 inches but faces continued convective activity with showers and thunderstorms forecast. For ski resort operations and backcountry enthusiasts in these regions, the current pattern favors Alaska's remote northern territories as the epicenter of meaningful snowfall, while traditional skiing destinations await more substantial winter storms to build their early-season foundations.

About New-Mexico ski conditions
Where do the New-Mexico 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 New-Mexico?
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 New-Mexico 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.
