[VIDEO] Chris Tomer Mountain Weather Update: Powder Days and Snow Forecast for Christmas Week - SnowBrains

"Big changes are on the horizon across the West as two major storm systems gear up just in time for the holidays. The first system is set to bring warmer, wetter conditions-especially for the Sierra-before a colder round closer to Christmas pushes freezing levels sharply lower and ushers in widespread snow across top-tier ranges from BC to the Tetons. Powder chasers, take note: the period between Christmas Eve and New Year's looks increasingly favorable, with a strong snowier trend extending through early January."

"Western Colorado, interior BC, and Utah's highest terrain all stand out for deeper potential, while the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies stay firmly in the wintry zone. Snow riders in the Northeast won't be left out, either. Multiple waves are targeting Vermont, New Hampshire, and upstate New York, hinting at festive refreshes for those East Coast turns. Warm temps remain a concern for some mid-elevation resorts, but the late-month forecast suggests colder air and solid midwinter potential."

Two major storm systems will affect the western United States and western Canada over the holidays. The first will bring warmer, wetter conditions—especially to the Sierra—before a colder system near Christmas drops freezing levels and ushers widespread snow across top-tier ranges from British Columbia to the Tetons. The period between Christmas Eve and New Year's looks favorable for significant snowfall, extending into early January, with western Colorado, interior BC, and Utah's highest terrain showing the deepest potential. The Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies will remain wintry, and multiple waves will target Vermont, New Hampshire, and upstate New York, although warm mid-elevation temperatures could limit some resorts until late-month cooling arrives.
