Understanding and predicting Snow Conditions in Pyeongchang

Here are our tips for making the most of a trip to Pyeongchang, with the help of the J2Ski Snow forecasts and reports. You can find some great skiing in Pyeongchang, but like any mountain, snow conditions change throughout the season, from day to day, and even from hour to hour.

Whether you’re sticking to the marked pistes or venturing off-piste, here’s what you need to know:

Pistes (Groomers) or Off-Piste

These can be a world apart, regarding snow conditions, even ignoring the difference between the natural terrain features to be found off-piste and the generally controlled surfaces and slopes of a pisted (groomed) run.

  • Piste Conditions can range from fresh powder to firm, icy surfaces, particularly after warm spells or a busy day on the mountain with the passage of many skiers.
  • Off-Piste Conditions are far more variable. Wind and sun can quickly transform fresh snow into wind crust or slushy layers, whilst cold weather can preserve stashes of powder many days after a snowfall.

WARNING - skiing off-piste (out-of-bounds) at Pyeongchang is uncontrolled and un-marked slopes are not made safe (from avalanche risk) or patrolled. Always check local advice, know the Avalanche Risk Level, ski with safety kit (and know how to use it), and never ski alone.

Analyzing Weather and Snowfall Forecasts

Whilst no forecast can tell you exactly how snow conditions in Pyeongchang will develop, checking the forecast regularly should give you an idea of what to expect.

New snowfall can bring fresh powder and refresh the surfaces of pisted runs. Powder can be tracked out quickly at busy times, but in less crowded and shaded areas, fresh snow can linger for days.

Changes in weather conditions, such as milder temperatures, rain or wind, can degrade snow quality. Conversely, cold, stable weather can preserve conditions for extended periods.

Predicting Future Snow Quality

Regularly check our snow and weather forecasts for Pyeongchang for changes that may affect snow quality. Forecast snowfall depth and recent snowfall are good indicators of what to expect.

Use historical data and recent snow reports to understand past snow conditions and anticipate future changes.
