A few words on the Snow at Brundage Mountain Resort
At Brundage 12.9% of winter days see 6 inches or more of snow, 13% of winter months see 90 inches or more, and 16% of months see less than 30 inches. This is average snow frequency but above average drought resistance for destination resorts. Due to its higher elevation range of 5,800 - 7,600 feet, Brundage gets less rain than other interior Northwest areas. Brundage is mainly patronized by weekend skiers from Boise. Brundage has an excellent reputation for powder skiing due to ideally-spaced trees and there is almost no competition for midweek powder.
Accumulation and Preservation
Brundage’s early season accumulation should be above average for western areas with above average snowfall and moderate terrain. Primary exposure is west, so widespread melt/freeze conditions are likely in March if it is sunny. January and February are the most reliable months at Brundage.
