Weather.gov reporting 3-7 additional over night and 3-5 tommorow.
By Sunday 8am anyone think any of the resorts will be Kuro worthy?
not that it matters because their unmounted, but could probably track someone down in boulder tonight and have them mounted freehand.
it was dumping at keystone tonight. couple inches from 5-9PM were sitting on my car. really picked up towards the end of the night. I-70 was a shitshow.
i took a trip to seattle on the wrong weekend
Wow, I should pray more often. Maybe there is a God?
quite a little storm cycle, eh? :D Just goes to show you that even the big boys at NOAA cannot predict this shit. Since Thursday, Loveland got nearly 3 inches of water equivalent :fm:
Looks like a persistent NW flow into this week... we'll see ;)
I just got back from Vail. Left boulder at 6am, got to vail at 830 (weather and traffic). The snow was simply epic for November 30. There was probably more terrain they could have opened, but I suppose they are leaving that in the name of building a base. But by Sunday morning, their had to be between 12-15 fresh. Amazing conditions. Only downside was the wind. Top of mountain top and wildwood were blowing like crazy and it also made for some strange wind pillows in the trees. Some of the cliffs are still obviously sketchy, but it was simply amazing. It took us 10 hours total to get home. 2 hours of driving between vail and prisco before 70 closed, then five hour wait in breck, then another 3 hours. Madness. Totally worth it. By the way, it was completely dumping the entire time from leaving vail all the way until tunnel at around 10:30 pm. I pressume it is continuing as we speak. If you can blow off work/school and hit vail, do it. You will not be disapointed, bring yourself a nice mid-fat (100-110mm) because there is still some sketch areas. Enjoy it. Great little system, everything and more. The front side trees are great!
That's my report on this weather system. Go make one of your own.
cool blog.Quote:

What, the 4 inches of water equivalent wasn't enough for you? :p Tomorrow's will be a fast hitter with some good dynamics, but probably will be a bit below advisory levels.Quote:

Yeah, that was such a good thing to see staring you in the face as you unloaded. Bring more, build the base, Ullr...Quote:

PS. Please bring more this week
Something nuts is going on in Boulder. Winds are just pounding our windows non-stop. Does this mean anything? Probably not. But at least things are unsteady.

In hindsight, were there any markers in the forecasts that were missed?
The jet sagged further south than anticipated, which certainly helped to drive the moisture against the divide (which was mentioned in some of the discussions leading up to the storm). However, NOBODY expected that the divide would get over four inches of water.Quote:

Parking the polaris, prepping for Powder! Can hear Jaws breaking from bed, the weather map looks sweet!
More snow falling at the tunnel right now, maybe this 3-4 inch storm will turn epic. Really doubt it though.
i think today is supposed to be pretty mellow, but they are saying tonight and tomorrow it should pick up. clearing on friday through the weekend should make for some good conditions.

hey VPM, you're new, you like to ski, we get it. People know about Vail...no need to remind folks every time you turn around to come ski here, we get plenty.
cool blog.
Can anyone explain the consistant snowband north of Cheyenne? It's been going like that all day. Reminds me of the lake effect snowbands off of the great lakes.
