A Major Winter Storm Is Coming to California. What Ski Resorts Could Get the Most Snow?

A major Sierra storm arrives late Sunday and runs through Thursday.

The heaviest snow falls from Monday through Wednesday, and totals build into the multi-foot range along the crest. Winds ramp Saturday and stay active through the heart of the storm, so expect wind-affected snow on exposed terrain.

Snow levels start around 4500-5500 feet as the storm spins up Monday, then drop hard Monday night into Tuesday and stay low through Wednesday. That trend lifts snow ratios from moderate early to fluffy and locally blower midweek.
