Ski Resort Webcams & Snow Stake Cams: Opening Days and Live Snow, 2026–27

16 ski resorts, each with live cameras, from Aspen and Jackson Hole to Alyeska and Lapland, ranked by how much new snow the weather model puts on each summit in the last 72 hours. Watch the snow stakes fill, check the summit before you drive, and see which resorts have published their 2026–27 opening day.

Where it’s snowing: the last 72 hours

Most new snow in the last 72 hours, by the model: Timberline Lodge, 17 in (44 cm). 8 of the 16 resorts here have had half an inch or more. The most snow in the next 7 days is forecast for Timberline Lodge: 18 in (45 cm).

New snow is the Open-Meteo weather model’s estimate at each resort’s summit elevation, added up hour by hour; “next 7 days” is its forecast. These are model estimates, not the resorts’ own measurements, and the model can miss snow from small, local storms. Each resort’s official snow report is linked on its card.

Computed when this page was built on 27 October 2026 at 19:09 UTC from Open-Meteo’s forecast models. Your browser refreshes it and re-ranks the resorts.

Snow stake cams

A snow stake cam points at a numbered ruler on a white board. The board is cleared at a set time, so the snow on it is the new snow since then: the plainest answer to “did it snow last night?”.

Only dates the resorts have published themselves, as of 22 October 2026. Every one depends on snow and can move; “no date published yet” means the resort had not named a day when we checked, and its snow report is the place to watch. This page does not report which resorts are operating: check each resort’s report for what is running today.

Reading a ski cam

  • Start at the summit. The top of the mountain gets snow first and keeps it longest. A summit cam in cloud during a storm is often the best sign there is.
  • Use the stake for new snow, the report for the base. A stake shows what fell since it was cleared; the base depth and the lifts and runs in operation come from the resort’s own report.
  • Mind the clock. Each resort clears its stake at its own time (Aspen Snowmass counts from 4 pm, Palisades Tahoe clears at 5 am and 5 pm), so a stake read in the morning and one read at night are measuring different things.
  • Check the road too. For the drive up, mountain pass and highway cameras are on our road & weather cams site.

Questions

How do snow stake cams work?

A snow stake is a ruler fixed upright on a flat board, usually painted white, in a sheltered spot on the mountain. A camera points at it, and the depth of snow on the board is the new snow since the board was last cleared. Each resort sets its own clearing time: Aspen Snowmass clears its stakes every 24 hours and counts its 24-hour total from 4 pm, and Palisades Tahoe clears its stake at 5 am and 5 pm. Wind can blow snow off the board or drift it in, and fresh snow settles as it sits, so the official snow report is the resort’s measured number.

When do ski resorts open for the 2026–27 season?

It depends on the resort and the snow. Of the resorts on this page that have published a date, Palisades Tahoe is first on 25 November 2026, then Aspen Mountain, Snowmass and Ski Santa Fe on 26 November, Jackson Hole, Schweitzer and Lutsen on 27 November, Alyeska on 28 November, Stevens Pass on 4 December and Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk on 12 December. Keystone aims to open in October, Killington has no date and opens when it can, and Levi in Finland began its season on 2 October. Every one of these can move with the weather.

Which ski resort has the most snow right now?

The ranking at the top of this page orders the resorts by the new snow the Open-Meteo weather model estimates at each summit over the last 72 hours, and your browser refreshes it when you open the page. Model numbers can differ from a resort’s own stake, so check the official snow report linked on each resort before you drive.

Are the snowfall numbers on this page official snow reports?

No. They are model estimates from Open-Meteo, asked for each resort’s summit elevation, not measurements. Resorts measure new snow at their own stake plots, at set times, and publish it in their snow report. Use this page to see where the storms are going and the cams to see the snow, and the resort’s report for the official number.

Which ski resort gets the most snow?

Of the resorts on this page, Alyeska in Alaska says it gets over 669 inches a year. Stevens Pass (460 inches) and Jackson Hole (458 inches) give the highest averages of the rest. Average figures come from each resort’s own stats where it publishes one, otherwise Wikipedia, and resorts measure them at different points on the mountain, so treat them as a rough comparison.

Why does a ski cam look grey, white or dark?

Summit cameras often sit inside the cloud during a storm, which is exactly when the snow is falling, so a grey frame can be good news. At night most cameras show little unless the resort lights the scene, as Keystone does for its snow stake. A panorama camera also takes its picture at intervals, so the frame may be some minutes old.

Snowfall and temperature: Open-Meteo forecast models (CC BY 4.0), at each resort’s summit elevation; model estimates, not measurements. Opening days, elevations and average snowfall: each resort’s own site where it publishes them, otherwise Wikipedia, as linked; checked on 22 October 2026. Camera feeds belong to their operators, named on each camera page.
