Radar: Midwest, the leading region

Centered on Afton Alps, the top score right now. Pick any resort to move the radar there.

Drag to pan; use + and − or pinch to zoom (click the map first to zoom with the scroll wheel). Radar: NOAA/NWS MRMS. Terrain: USGS The National Map. Colors show how heavy the precipitation is, not whether it’s rain or snow. Mountains block radar beams, so snow over high terrain can be heavier than it looks here.

Get powder alerts

We’ll email you when a resort’s forecast turns into a real powder day.

Scores are automated forecast estimates, not guarantees. Past-7-day snowfall is measured at the nearest SNOTEL station within 40 km; resorts without one show a dash. Always check the resort’s own report and your local avalanche center before you go.
