A combination of altitude, a unique climate and big storms sweeping in from the west

mean that Wolf Creek is a real snow trap, so much so that it picks up almost 11m of powder a year. Add in its fairly remote location and you have the perfect combination – no crowds and lots of powder. This means that although there’s some decent skiing for beginners or intermediates, the real attraction is the advanced and expert terrain, plus the renowned tree-skiing. The runs off Knife Ridge are the jewel in the crown, but there are also some great steep runs in the Waterfall and Alberta Peak zones.

There is little more at the base than a couple of lodges and a big car park, so you’ll need to stay down the hill if you’re looking to ski here. Pagosa Springs or South Fork are your best bets, each lying around half an hour away. Wolf Creek’s remote location (you either need an internal flight or a five hour drive from Denver to get here) means it is worth tying in your trip with a visit to another nearby resort – Telluride, Silverton and Purgatory are good options.

Snow Overview

USA

Updated 07/04

The sad demise of Left Coast skiing continues this week, with more resorts shuttering with each passing day in the wake of what is now officially a record-low snowpack in Utah. Temperatures remain mild throughout this forecast period across the Rockies, PNW, and Tetons, with a few bursts of rain along the way.

Things may turn colder into the weekend with a few flurries of snow, but whether there is a snowpack left for this to boost is anyone’s guess.

Out on the Ice Coast, things start this period cold and snowy, but rapidly turn mild as the freezing line leaps over tall buildings in a single bound. Things will fluctuate slightly, plus a flurry of rain in to start the weekend to keep things interesting.
