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
Over 30 incredibly groomed trails for you to enjoy. On groomed trails: machine groomed granular snow, perfect corduroy conditions. On non-groomed trails: skier tracked powder, variable snow surface depending on the aspect and time of day.
