You can view the 24-hour snow totals on the right side, where the snow stake is cleared daily at 4pm. Storm totals are displayed on the left side.

We open the lifts early at 8:30am for all of our Powder Pass holders when the right hand side of the snow stake accumulates 4 or more inches overnight (4pm – 6am).
