BLACK ICE ROADS AND STORM SKIING
3" OF SNOW OVERNIGHT AT LOBO
MID MOUNTAIN BASE DEPTH AT LOBO 26.7"
Good morning skiers and snowboarders, this is Mario with your SnoFax report for Sunday, December 15th, 2024. 3" of new snow has rolled in from the Southwest, with winds gusting to 50mph at the summit overnight. Winds have since shifted to the Northwest bringing with them a temperature drop that is supposed to keep dropping. Last night in Bozeman and at lower elevations, this snow began falling after hours of rain, creating for very icy roads. We've got some Sunday storm skiing on the menu today. It's going to be a battle with the elements out there.
WIND AND TEMPS: Today's temps are expected to range between 3°F at the summit, and 23°F at the base, with mid mountain temps in the teens, and winds are expected out of the West, gusting to 40mph at the summit.
More snow expected throughout the day today, let's hope that it just keeps on coming! The Bowl, Rice Bowl, Midnight and Moonlight will have caught the most of this overnight snow, and let's hope that as things continue to roll in now blowing in from the Northwest, that we get some improved coverage up on the South Face. The next three days we can expect snow on and off.
Weather seems to love rollin in heaviest during the morning hours in Big Sky, gaining it's momentum before the sun rises. Just because you don't see a large overnight total, doesn't mean that you can't run into deeper snow as it continues to pile up while you're out there. Dress warm, be ready for flat light, wind and snow, AND POWDER!
As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.
