Understanding the Snow Report

Snow Measurements

Our snow reports measure snowfall in centimeters over multiple time windows — last 24 hours, last 7 days, and the season total. Base depth reflects accumulation at the 1260m base area, while summit depth captures conditions 600m higher at 1860m, where snow typically stays colder and lingers longer. Imperial conversions are shown alongside for convenience.

Weather Conditions

Current weather conditions affect snow quality. Cold temperatures with low wind typically preserve snow quality, while warm temperatures or rain can impact conditions negatively — something worth watching closely at Cardrona's 1260m base elevation, where temperatures run milder than the summit.

Data Sources

Cardrona snow data is collected through a combination of on-mountain reports and weather forecasting services, giving you both official resort updates and independent forecast data in one place. The mountain is served by 11 lifts, including 4 quad chairlifts and 2 6-person chairlifts.

When to Check

Conditions can change overnight, so mornings and late afternoons are the best times to check back on Cardrona. With Cardrona's season running from June 13, 2026 to Oct 11, 2026, checking daily during a storm cycle gives you the clearest read on new snow.
