Weather at Rosa Khutor: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.
What the weather at Rosa Khutor is usually like
The ski area runs from 940 to 2,509 m above sea level - a 1,569 m vertical. In January the daytime average is 3 °C at the base and -7 °C at the summit. Plan for that 10 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. Midwinter days at the base run above freezing, so the lower runs soften by midday and the morning snow lasts longer higher up.
Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March. Last season brought 55 cm of snow here. The snowiest month was January: 40 cm over 3 days with snowfall. The snowpack was deepest in February, at roughly 90 cm. These are observations from a single season, not a long-term norm: a snowy year here can be twice a lean one.
By March the base is around 7 °C while the summit still holds -3 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
