The data for this real-time snow and weather report is obtained directly from the snow weather plots at Kirkwood Mountain Resort and the surrounding areas. Snow totals and snow accumulation are consistently 15 to 20% more than reported as a result of wind, micro squalls and snow loading. Weather patterns at Kirkwood Mountain Resort are exceedingly difficult to predict – when venturing into the mountain, be prepared for rapid, dramatic weather changes.

Surface Conditions

Spring corn snow conditions throughout the mountain. It did not freeze overnight, so conditions will be soft and will continue to get softer and more spring-like as the day progresses.

Road Conditions: Open

Hwy. 88 via Tahoe: Open.
Hwy. 88 via Jackson: Open.
