A Few Words on the Snow at Maverick Mountain

Maverick has no detail snow data, so we estimate 225 inches snowfall, due to its location well leeward of the Idaho/Montana divide. Maverick is remote so powder can last a long time.

Accumulation and Preservation

Maverick's early season accumulation is probably slightly below average for western destinations. Exposure is mostly east, but it has a cold climate so snow preservation should be decent. Maverick is probably most reliable in February and March.
