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.

Beautiful Weather in Woodfords this weekend
The chance of rain has gone away. We are lookinng forward to weather in the mid 60's We have open availability this weekend. Fishing opener is rapidly approaching make your reservation for the last weekend in April. Hopefully we will have continued cold evenings to keep the flow down. Fish & Game should be stocking the East & West Folk of the Carson River soon. If you don't want to fish come up and golf. All of the Carson Valley courses are in great shape.
