2024-2025 Snow Update

Backcountry skiing, Bozeman, Montana
Montana's Steenburg winter ends on February 24 so it is time to check in on this winter's snow conditions. In Bozeman we've had steady storms since just after Christmas with no real melt-downs. After 10" of snow overnight in town, about 26" of snow sit in my yard and deep piles of snow line the streets. It feels like real winter and is an especially nice change after last year's disaster.

If you take a look at the stats below, it seems as if Bridger Bowl and the other ski areas I report on are just about at average. Warm weather is expected to arrive in the next several days so let's see what happens with out snowpack. Keep your fingers crossed!

Historic Snow Stats

A good winter is magic mix of snow, temperature, sun, and wind. The stats and snow depths don't tell the full story so click on the dates to see what we were talking about in previous years.
