San Juan Snow Conditions - February Update

This month's snow report comes to you on the 7th rather than the 1st of the month, since the "atmospheric river" was coming through the San Juans right on the 1st and we wanted to see what the snowpack would be after the proverbial dust (or in this case, snow) settled. We were not disappointed! The latest storm has raised the Red Mountain Pass snowpack to 61" (which is just above the long-term average of 56"). We are even slightly ahead of the snowpack from last year. Long-term weather predictions continue to suggest above average moisture in the San Juans so we can expect even more snow and a healthy snow/moisture condition leading up to Hardrock 2024. Good tidings indeed!
