Many of us are riding the high of the recent major snowstorm wondering when the next big powder day will swing through. Unfortunately for most of North America, it looks like the snowy weather won’t be returning anytime soon, or at least not for the next week. Meteorologist Chris Tomer‘s Mountain Weather Update paints a rather sad picture for snowfall totals in North America between January 29th and February 5th.
The biggest snowfall winners over the next week are almost entirely in Canada, with Whistler Blackcomb set to receive up to 18 inches and Revelstoke and Mt. Baker potentially receiving up to 10 inches. Beyond that, as already mentioned, it’s looking pretty sad.
The highest totals throughout most of the United States creep towards a 3 inch maximum, with Steamboat, Schweitzer, Crystal, and a few other ski areas reaching that number. California ski resorts are looking at a total of 0 inches, while some Colorado resorts are looking at 1-2 inches. Basically if you’re looking for powder turns, this isn’t the week to find them.
