Snow Reporter Comments
Stoked on the changing of the seasons and keen to see more snow? Keep up those snow dances and keep an eye on our webcams!
Wondering about opening day? While we don't have enough snow on the ground yet, sometimes all it takes is a few big storms to build up the depth we need to make an opening announcement. Operations at The Summit are dependent on natural snowfall, so opening day varies from year to year. When mother nature delivers enough snow, we start spinning the lifts for you. Typically that occurs in the first week or two of December, but again, each year is different. Our extensive brush cutting and drainage improvement efforts at key areas (especially Summit West) help us open with less snow, but typically it takes at least a couple feet of accumulation and a favorable forecast to get Summit West open.
Summit West is always the first to open as it requires the least amount of snow to operate. Summit Central and Alpental are often not far behind Summit West.
Our Snow Tubing Park isn't entirely dependent on natural snowfall, we actually have six snowmaking machines there to help get the tubing lanes built out faster than if we were relying on Mother Nature alone. We do not have an opening date set for the Tubing Park yet, however, we plan to continue making snow there whenever conditions allow.

Snowfall amounts for 12hr (overnight), 24hr, and 48hr timeframes are based on measurements taken at 5am daily. 24hr and 48hr snow totals are cumulative, so whatever fell in the last 24 is built into the 48. Between 5pm and 5am our weather data is automatically updated based on telemetry data from Northwest Avalanche Center and represents our overnight totals.
The "Since 5am" snowfall amount is based on manual measurements taken periodically throughout the day.
