Its too cold for efficient snow growth. The parade of storms continues into this week.
Keep 'em coming. Copper was good today. I swear no one is skiing the trees there. Well, except for me. Made for a good day of calf to knee deep almost every tree run. Winds were blowing fierce up on Fremont Pass this evening.
If you average the exaggerated totals of snowforecast and Noaa, we should still be slated for at LEAST 15 to 30 by Thursday...
Merry Fucking X-mas :)
The 5-day QPF forecasts this morning were ridiculous 3+ inches in the northern and central mountains with 4+ inches for the San Juans.
See what I mean, total blower :rolleyes:Quote:

woot woot! The pain train rolls right along. Not lovin the winds for Eagle County, but still shaping up for another good week of snowfall.
Wow this week looks nice. Mon 4-6, Tues 5-8, Wed 4-7, Thurs 6-10 and Fri 5-8.
typical SW flow for Eagle County today....just VERY light snow for the most part....an inch at the most on the valley floor and quite warm. Looks like the Elks have been getiing it good for quite awhile.
Not like a SW does great for our mountains either. The steady light accumulations should actually help not overload our snowpack. Things look interesting for the more northern mountains Christmas into Friday...Quote:

I actually think it came in a bit more west as evidenced with the 10 new at Berthoud this morning.Quote:

Hopefully it continues throughout the day today...
I think it should as the main L and cold core have yet to move over the State. I'd expect another 4-8 throughout the day with the snow tappering off tonight with 1-3 addtl.Quote:

27 inches in 24 at Wolf Creek?:tongue:
Anyone know why NOAA vail current conditions has been offline for 2 or 3 days? Do they know?
Yeah, they must be aware because they've changed it from a 3 day old observation to a NULL.Quote:

Flail did not suck this morning, I'm sure somebody will post pics. Gotta get out of the office in a bit to catch the last lift so I can get home, which will not suck either.
The Mile should be 100% ridiculous.
Breck was really good this morning. Best day of the season so far. Definitely 16" or so new up top and the visibility was great with partly sunny skies most of the morning. Looks like the snow is rolling back in again.:)
after what could be another substantial dumping on Christmas and Friday, the pattern looks to chill for a few days. Looks like sunny skies and high pressure til New Years where it might begin to shift back to stormy!
19" plus in Aspen. Best day of the year! :biggrin:
Vail was insane today...best day of the year for me by far. The trees out the Earl's bowl gate were so money, pillows galore.
Even breck was teh anti-suck today. Faceshots all day in the right spots...
I'll upload one shitty pic later.
I hit up breck too yesterday... chair 6 was the shit for about an hour
if you are planning on skiing SW CO this weekend, leave now or early tomorrow morning.
And I would like to add that you are lucky bastards if you are...Quote:

I see Santa left you some em0 butthurtness under the tree.Quote:

Sucker. ;) If it makes you feel better, we suffered through downright brutal conditions touring yesterday.Quote:

Vail was nice today. It is skiing really very well. It was snowing pretty good when I left the mountain and continuing into this evening, but as of right now in Edwards the snow has slowed. Sort of on and off, but the skiing is great.
breather for the next week or so...
