Here's where the largest snowfall will happen this week at ski resorts


Estimated weekly snowfall at popular ski resorts in the U.S. and Canada, April through April 13

Wondering if fresh snow is in the forecast? Dreaming of a destination ski or snowboard trip in the U.S. or Canada? This weekly update provides the total estimated snowfall at popular ski destinations in the West and Northeast. OnTheSnow Meteorologist Chris Tomer, author of the Snow Before You Go column, will keep you in the know for fresh powder days.

Snowfall predictions in the West

"A large dome of high pressure builds across the Intermountain West through April 13, then the pattern might turn more active. During that period the flow shifts north to favor the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia for the most precipitation," said Tomer. "Expect the freezing level to move to much higher elevations as warm air floods the West. A number of Pacific Northwest ski resorts, especially at higher elevations, could see 1-2 feet of new snow."
