Palm Springs, CA, September 30, 2026 — The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway has announced the commencement of its yearly snow guessing contest. This tradition invites the public to participate by submitting their predictions for the total snowfall accumulation at the tramway’s Mountain Station.

Details regarding the specific start and end dates for entries were not provided in the initial announcement. Likewise, information concerning the method of entry, the location where snowfall will be officially measured, and any prizes awarded to the closest guess have not yet been made public.

The contest, a long-standing tradition for the popular Southern California attraction, typically draws a significant number of participants eager to test their forecasting skills. It highlights the unique microclimate experienced at higher elevations, which can differ dramatically from the desert floor below.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway transports visitors from the valley floor to the San Jacinto Mountains, offering a stark change in temperature and scenery. The Mountain Station, situated at an elevation of 8,516 feet, often receives substantial snowfall during the winter months, a phenomenon that contrasts with the arid climate for which Palm Springs is generally known.

Further details regarding the contest’s rules, submission procedures, and prize information are expected to be released by the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Interested individuals are advised to monitor official announcements from the tramway for updates.
