Episode 117: A Christmas Snow Miracle... For Some! - 12/24/25
A Christmas Snow Miracle… For Some! 🎄❄️
It’s a Christmas Eve special on The Flakes Podcast, and while some regions are still sweating through record-breaking warmth, others are waking up to a full-blown holiday snow miracle.
BA, Evan, and Mike break down a wildly uneven Christmas forecast across North America:
• Historic warmth and jaw-dropping temperature records in Utah and Colorado
• A long-awaited storm cycle finally slamming California, with Tahoe, Mammoth, and the Sierra eyeing multi-foot totals
• Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies continuing to quietly dominate the snowfall leaderboard
• Surprise post-Christmas snow potential in the Northeast
• Flooding, snow-level whiplash, and why “miracle” storms can still come with serious hazards
The crew also dives into season-to-date snowfall leaders, shifting snowpack trends, and what a classic La Niña pattern means for where to chase powder as we head into January. Plus: heli-ski dreams in British Columbia, why patience is key after a big dump on bare ground, and a reminder to show some love to the crews working through the holidays to make skiing possible.
A white Christmas isn’t guaranteed everywhere — but for some lucky spots, winter has officially arrived. 🎅⛷️
