  • Sign that reads 'PEAKS express' during snowfall, with snowflakes falling in front of a cloudy sky.

    Snow Forecast

    A great source for upcoming precipitation and temperatures. This site almost always overstates precipitation and temperatures. It takes some skill (and luck) to interpret it. It does give a great representation on when we can expect storms and the quality of snow we can expect.
