"Sunday through early Tuesday is the best-defined storm window, with guidance converging on start time and overall progression but still diverging some on intensity by resort. Snow ramps up Sunday, continues through Monday, and tapers early Tuesday, with the most dependable totals centered on Banff Sunshine and somewhat lighter outcomes at Revelstoke and Kicking Horse in the core window."
"Thursday through Saturday looks modest, and guidance is generally converging on weak precipitation timing with only small accumulations. Most hours are dry or lightly showery, with occasional refreshes but no sustained storm structure yet. During these lighter bursts, snow levels bounce around roughly 3,000 to 6,000 feet, so lower elevations can see mixed quality while upper terrain does better."
"Snow levels begin higher during the Sunday onset, often near 4,000 to 6,000 feet, then fall sharply toward valley floors by Monday into early Tuesday as colder air settles in. Snow quality improves accordingly as temperatures trend colder and snow becomes less dense after the weekend onset."
BC and Alberta ski areas will experience a two-phase weather pattern. Thursday through Saturday brings modest, intermittent precipitation with light accumulations and snow levels fluctuating between 3,000 and 6,000 feet. Snow ratios range from 6 to 13, producing denser snow with manageable wind gusts of 15 to 30 mph. Sunday through early Tuesday represents the primary storm window with converging guidance on timing and progression. Snow begins Sunday, intensifies Monday, and tapers early Tuesday, with Banff Sunshine receiving the most reliable accumulation while Revelstoke and Kicking Horse see lighter totals. Snow levels start higher Sunday around 4,000 to 6,000 feet, then drop sharply toward valley floors by Monday as colder air arrives. Overall ski quality improves as temperatures trend colder and snow becomes less dense.
