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 07/01

A mild week for the Left Coast sees high pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions dominating in the Sierras and across the PNW. Whilst things remain this way for the Sierras, the PNW turns cooler as the weekend arrives, bringing snow with some good totals possible – low double digits in places. This will work its way in land, staying to northerly reaches to impact Idaho and Wyoming, with some good snow expected at Jackson, too.

Colorado and, particularly, the I-70 corridor sees some cold weather but good snowfall throughout this period, with steady bursts adding up to around 20cm between now and the end of the weekend.

On the Ice Coast, a huge dump of snow has worked its way up the eastern seaboard bringing good totals to ski areas in this region. The remainder of the week remains dry and cold, however.
