Conditions now

Snow in the mountains of United States

Snow 3

Where NASA's satellites saw snow near each walk (the latest clear view of the past week), and the weekend forecast from Thursday on. Walked one lately? Add a trail report under the guide.

Snow: NASA GIBS (MODIS on Terra, VIIRS on NOAA-20), about 500 m detail, so small patches, ice in gullies and snow under trees may not show. Forecast: MET Norway. Check again before you go.
