The Snow Report Show

They Say Never Meet Your Heroes, but… My first trip to Jackson Hole exceeded expectations. And believe it or not, it had nothing to do with the snow. There was no new snow to report. No chest-deep powder days. No endless refills. It is spring, and in a winter that almost never came, it didn’t exactly come as a shock. Still, I had built Jackson Hole up in my mind for years. I have lived vicariously...

If you’ve been around skiing long enough, you know about Miracle March . It’s the time of year when the snow gods occasionally remember that winter isn’t technically over yet and decide to dump a few feet on the mountains just to keep things interesting. This year has been… complicated. Large parts of the West - particularly Colorado, Utah, and Tahoe - have struggled with low snow totals for much...

Epic adds a youth discount. Ikon adds more mountains. Everyone adds perks you didn’t ask for. Every spring, the ski industry releases its season passes for the following winter. And every year the same thing happens. You open the pass page, scroll for about 15 seconds, and suddenly realize: You may need a doctorate in ski pass economics to understand what you’re buying. Blackout dates. Partial bla...

The Blizzard of 2026 will be remembered as one of the most dramatic late-season winter storms in recent U.S. history, especially across the Northeast. What began as a moisture-rich Nor’easter quickly intensified into a bomb cyclone that dumped historic snow totals, snarled travel, and left millions digging out this week. ❄️ Historic Snow Totals: The Numbers * Providence, Rhode Island: A staggering...

And we’re back with a new look and location for the next few weeks. That’s right, I’ll be bringing you updates and podcasts from the slopes and surrounding area of Snowmass, Colorado. Let’s jump into it. The most electric Team USA moments of Milano Cortina 2026 1) Alysa Liu ends a 24 year U.S. drought with women’s figure skating GOLD The U.S. hadn’t won Olympic gold in women’s singles since 2002....

The Winter Olympic Games in Cortina kick off tonight, and if you needed a reminder that the Olympics are never just about sport, this week delivered. Let’s start with the headline that actually made people feel something. Lindsey Vonn is Racing on a Ruptured ACL Last week, Lindsey Vonn ruptured her ACL in Crans-Montana. Her Olympic status was uncertain. The kind of uncertainty that usually ends wi...

Winter has a way of stacking storylines on top of each other, and right now we’ve got a little bit of everything. Injuries at the worst possible time, tricky weather patterns, and some cold-weather science that sounds way scarier than it actually is. Let’s get into it. Lindsey Vonn: Comeback Season, Interrupted Lindsey Vonn’s return to World Cup racing this winter has been nothing short of remarka...

Hey friends, welcome back. We’ve got a lot to cover and a big storm incoming. Let’s jump into it. A Wild Weekend Setup Across the U.S. According to OpenSnow , this weekend into early next week is shaping up to be a wild one across much of the country as Arctic air collides with deep moisture and a strengthening subtropical jet stream. This is not a subtle pattern. We’re talking about a large, high...

Welcome Back to The Snow Report Hey friends, I’m back. I just got home from Snowbird, Utah , where I somehow managed to come away with great skiing, a renewed appreciation for elevation and a sassy new crewneck. It should be a hit with the parents at the PTA meeting. Snow conditions at Snowbird were solid. I found some powder, spent plenty of time cruising wind-buffed terrain and groomers, and hik...

Exciting news, friends. I’m heading to Utah next week for a conference and some riding and will be spending time at Snowbird. If you’ll be around, shoot me a message. Always down for a baby beer or a martini served in a thimble. Alright, let’s talk snow. It’s January 9th and this is what’s been going on in the world of winter. Utah and the Central Rockies A Big Week, and Well-Timed Turns Utah was...

Welcome to your first Snow Report of the new year. I truly hope your holiday season has been fun, festive and full of great days on snow. We’ve been hitting the mountain as a family every weekend and it’s been great to see the little guys learning and growing with each outing. Our buddies at OpenSnow sent over some information about this weekend’s forecast and there are a few notable moments to ge...

Hope you had a great holiday. Ours involved family time, cookies, sleepless excitement and one very big visit from Santa. In this week’s show, we are sidelining the beer in lieu of some bourbon from Breckenridge, Colorado. Consider it an offering to the weather gods as we attempt to manifest cold, snowy vibes for our friends in the Rockies. Because here’s the thing. We’ve been here before. A littl...

Winter is firmly back in control across much of the country. After a brief stretch of mixed conditions, colder air is settling in, snow levels are cooperating, and several regions are setting themselves up for improved skiing as we head toward the holiday period. Here’s a look at how things are shaping up around the country. Northwest The Northwest remains the standout over the next five to six da...

Halley O’Brien here, and welcome to The Snow Report. I’ve loved reading your messages this week. The notes, the questions, the trip plans, and yes - the beer recommendations. Keep them coming. We’ll continue to work more of those into the show as the season rolls on. East Coast: Cold, Snowy, and Building Bases It’s been cold and snowy across the East, and the pattern holds steady over the next fiv...

Winter finally has some momentum - and this weekend is the real deal. Mother Nature is not messing around. After a slow start for some regions, a powerful stretch of storms is lining up for the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and Canada, delivering heavy snow through this weekend and into early next week. Meanwhile, the East will stay cold, but not particularly snowy - at least not at the moment. Let’...
