ESFPIH Above average temperatures Thursday preceding cold front passage will maintain low and mid elevation snowmelt and runoff. Standing water in typical low spots can be expected, and we'll also likely see swelling in smaller creeks and tributaries that feed larger streams and rivers. This may even push some streams and creeks above bankful causing minor flooding and bank erosion due to the higher flows. Despite cold frontal passage late Thursday, overnight low temperatures will remain above freezing for most areas Thursday night, continuing the runoff. Temperatures Friday and Saturday dip back down toward normals, and overnight lows will be back to near freezing by Saturday morning. This cooldown, however, will be accompanied by increasing rain chances which could add to the runoff concerns. Stay away from fast moving water, swollen river banks, and never attempt to cross flowing water over roadways.

A fresh dusting of 1-2 inches is expected today at Sun Valley, adding to an already solid snowpack of 41 inches—about 21% above the seasonal average. With a base SWE of 13.8 inches, conditions remain firm and well-covered across the mountain. The overnight low of 31.5°F has kept surfaces crisp early, but as the sun rises, expect softening on south-facing slopes. Looking ahead, nearly 4 inches of snow is forecast over the next three days, with a more significant 9-inch storm system moving in by early next week—perfect conditions to finish March strong.
On the racing front, Sun Valley’s World Cup Giant Slalom course has been proving to be a serious challenge, with competitors struggling to hold their lines. Meanwhile, ski legend Lindsey Vonn remains in the spotlight, dedicating her latest podium finish to her late mother while already setting her sights on the 2026 Olympics. Over in the men’s competition, Swiss phenom Marco Odermatt claimed another crystal trophy—though unfortunately, he didn’t keep it in one piece for long. With prime spring conditions on the slopes and world-class racing action in the valley, it’s the perfect time to soak up Sun Valley’s legendary terrain.
