How will El Niño affect Fairmont in winter 2026-27?
El Niño Signal Rank: #288 of 488 SnowSure resorts · Tier D · strong-event signal -6% vs its own 30-yr average. In the three strongest El Niño winters on record ('97-98, '15-16, '23-24), Fairmont averaged -6% versus its own 30-year snowfall baseline. Historically this is a timing play rather than a reason to stay home: aim for late winter (February–March) in winter 2026-27. Analog winters: '97-98 +1%, '15-16 -5%, '23-24 -13%. A pattern, not a promise.
