Episode 113: Send Snow. Please. Seriously. — Season 6 Premiere - 11/26/2025
Description
Winter is off to a weird start… and the Flakes are back to make sense of it.
In the Season 6 premiere, we dive into one of the strangest early-season patterns in years: warm storms, delayed openings, disappearing forecasts, and a desert southwest that somehow has more snow than the northern Rockies. We break down what’s happening, why the models can’t agree, and whether the long-range “fantasyland” holds any hope for real powder.
Plus:
❄️ Why Arizona is at 600%+ snowpack
❄️ Why the West can’t get cold enough to even make snow
❄️ The strongest Arctic stratospheric warming event since 1968
❄️ What ski regions might actually score snow next
❄️ The new OpenSnow tools for tracking storms
