Overview
- The National Weather Service (SMN) of Conagua forecasts that Cold Front 17 could generate snowfall in several regions, with the greatest chances in northern states.
- Bosques de Monterreal near Arteaga, Coahuila, is identified as Mexico’s only site for skiing, with stays in mountain cabins and activity dependent on natural snowfall.
- Central Mexico’s Nevado de Toluca is highlighted for winter hiking and views of the crater lakes, where light snow or ice is common on higher sections in December.
- Lesser-known options cited this season include Nevado de Colima, La Rumorosa, Mexiquillo and Creel, with Milenio noting it consulted Gemini and ChatGPT for its Top 3 picks and pointing to Chepe rail access in the Sierra Tarahumara.
- Outlets advise checking local forecasts, reserving lodging early and packing proper cold-weather gear because snow is possible yet never guaranteed at most destinations.
