SnowSure Forecaster · September 27, 2026 · How we forecast →

Snow on Sunday, then a quiet start to the week.

We're looking at 14cm of fresh snow on Sunday, with lighter amounts early next week. Expect a quiet stretch after that, so enjoy the weekend while it lasts.

Short-Term Forecast

The snow starts with a solid 14cm on Sunday, making it the biggest day of this stretch. After that, we’ll see just a dusting of 0cm to 1cm on Monday and a mere 0cm to 1cm on Tuesday. This round wraps up by Tuesday, leaving us with a total of about 15cm.

Extended Forecast

Looking beyond midweek, things quiet down significantly with low confidence in any significant snow. The week will likely stay calm after Tuesday, so if you're looking for the best conditions, plan for Sunday.

Yesterday: 14cm forecast over the next 7 days
