SUMMER (JUNE to MID-SEPTEMBER)Reaching temperatures 30+ degrees (Celsius) with the odd rainstorm and relatively low humidity.

FALL (MID-SEPTEMBER to NOVEMBER)Beautiful warm sunny days, but colder nights and a cooler wind. Pants/long shorts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets and both close-toed and open-toed shoes are fine as early fall is still quite warm, about 25 degrees (Celsius), cooling to an average of 0 to 5 degrees (Celsius) by the end of fall. It is not uncommon to have below freezing temperatures so dressing in layers is recommended.

WINTER (DECEMBER to FEBRUARY)Snowy and cold, yet days are mainly sunny and sometimes windy. The valley is quite mild with lows of -5 to -15 degrees (Celsius) and snowfall of about 6 inches, while the mountains receive heavy snowfall (4 to 8 feet) with temperatures dipping to -15 to -30 degrees Celsius. Layered clothing, warm jackets/vest, gloves/scarf and close-toed shoes and/or boots are appropriate. Depending on your activities, sunglasses and snow-gear (i.e. snow pants and thermal underclothes) are also appropriate.
