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 1302m base area, while summit depth captures conditions 678m higher at 1980m, where snow typically stays colder and lingers longer. Imperial conversions are shown alongside for convenience.

Weather Conditions

Snow quality tracks closely with temperature and wind. We surface both alongside the snowfall data so you can judge whether conditions at Porters are holding up or starting to soften.

Data Sources

Porters 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 6 lifts, including a quad chairlift.

When to Check

Snow reports are typically updated early morning and late afternoon. For the most current conditions, check back regularly, especially if a winter storm is approaching. With Porters's season running from June 26, 2026 to Sept 27, 2026, checking daily during a storm cycle gives you the clearest read on new snow.
