Forecast
Scattered snow showers remain in Lake Tahoe this morning as the storm will move out around 10 or 11–should be a good Powder Day. Heavy snow could be seen on Palisades and Kirkwood cams, as of 5:15 Pacific Time.
Just a tiny bit of graupel on the Alta stake as of post time, as the storm is just underway. Temps will drop and heavy snow expected for the cottonwoods with 6-10 expected today with another 3-6 overnight for Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Park City and Solitude. Powder Day on Saturday!
In Colorado, the storm gets underway tonight as the northern mountains are favored again–hmm seems like a pattern here. Powder Day on Saturday with Vail, Beaver Creek, Steamboat, Winter Park and the divide resorts looking at 4-8 inches with some spots in the 10+ range–maybe.
Trifecta Watch Valentines Day to Presidents Day
We have been watching the following system since mid-January. It is not a lock yet, but it is looking what it should look like. The models are unsure of the timing, similar to the AR out west, but our model predicted 3-400 percent of average snowfall that should equate to 2-3 feet of snow over 3-4 days with some places in the 4+ range. Stay tuned.
Below are some updated long-range charts for Aspen, Steamboat (Rabbit Ears Pass) and Wolf Creek. I threw in a temperature forecast as well, it doesn’t appear to be an issue for now. I like the control line for Wolf Creek on the snow chart–Lets Ride!
