Election Day Snowstorm brings "a bunch" of snow to Schweitzer

This election day has been full of surprises so far, and now there's even more good news. According to the SNOTEL sensors in Schweitzer Basin, the mountain has received up to 6 inches of new snow out of an election day snowstorm. This is great news, and more snow is expected throughout the week, with a slight warmup over the weekend, and more snow over next weekend.

In other news, 49 Degrees North reported 5" of snow at the summit at 4:00 PM, as did Mt. Spokane at 11:30 AM. These totals may inflate slightly overnight. There are no new reports from Silver Mountain or Lookout Pass. But we'll keep you posted.
