Weather at Snowbasin

Weather at Snowbasin: 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 Snowbasin is usually like

The ski area runs from 1,966 to 2,885 m above sea level - a 919 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -1 °C at the base and -7 °C at the summit. Plan for that 6 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top.

Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March. Last season brought 705 cm of snow here. The snowiest month was February: 159 cm over 11 days with snowfall. The snowpack was deepest in April, at roughly 241 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 5 °C while the summit still holds -1 °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.
