[MidnightJester]

This is the current state of the some of the Ski mountains we love and hate and their open trail counts and the Snow totals for their season to date

The fast Winter recap is its the Worst start for and the worst Year to date(1st half) for most of the US Western states and Larger snow totals for most of BC Canada, US East and Upper VT especially. The Northeast has been having the year or years (2 in a row) for persistent COLD and near record SNOW levels again for Mt. Mansfield and JAY PEAK!

So we are past midway into the 2025/2026 ski season and Winter snow is finally on the way for most of the country all at the same time. The US Wests SNOW prayers are doing something and it looks like the Northeast and VT have a Midweek Foot possible. Let the Fresh powder fall and Snow lovers rejoice in celebration for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Bring on the SNOW. "ULLR, ULLR, ULLR"

Utah’s assistant state climatologist even noted that "Florida’s Panhandle had seen more snow than Salt Lake City at one point this winter" — a sentence that feels almost impossible to write about a state synonymous with powder.

This weekend is set up to enjoy the fruits of our midweek snow refreshers that happened from Monday through Wednesday . Out of the Frozen negative wind chills and onto mild days of teens and twenty's. Considering the Holiday weekend the crowds should be out in force since the last few weekends were about as cold as cold gets with lifts closed from cold and wind chills at some mountains.

Look towards next week because the SNOW Gods are looking favorable for most of the country at this point!!

Looking further into late Winter and early Spring some forecasting models apparently foresee increased snow amounts for March! Here is to hoping that this forecast comes through
