Snowbowl received 13 inches of fresh snow in the last 24 hours bringing our 7 day total to 44 inches! Even more snow is expected throughout the week and there’s no better way to ring in the new year with deep turns and powder laps! Check out our favorite photos from today below. 

Snow has officially arrived and our winter storm recovery operations are underway.
