fireweather has close to 4 inches of water equiv. for Berthoud and 40+ inches of snow. That should make things interesting to say the least.
Edit to add: 5.5 inches of water equiv for the metro area, but only 8 inches of snow. Long's Peak has close to 7 inches of water equiv.
If its heavy/wet enough or consolidates quickly then next week may be prime for Notch or North Face.Quote:

If it holds, then the season is getting a big boost to last longer for sure.
Yah this bodes well for our corn season. Time to dust of the bucket list.
eldora is going to get their biggest storm in years, and they closed last weekend :cussing:

I'm aiming to get out at least 2 of the next 3 days, if not all 3...thinking 1 area, 1 bc day in there. Let's see where the snow falls and make some turns, NPG!

Still don't want to skin in deep shit tho.
If you skin up Eldora you should be punched in the cock. fyi.Quote:

Winter Park is looking true to forecast so far, heavy, wet and steady in the valley. BP was socked in this AM and has probably been gettin crushed all day since about 6 or 7am.
no firsthand from my cube tho...til tomorrow when work gets a huge:fuckyou:
This is one of the slowest moving storms I have seen. The storm warning originally went until 6 PM Thurs, then 6 AM Friday, the 6PM Fri, now 9AM Sat.
Untied just canceled my flight. :tdo13: Gay. At least they could wait for something to happen before blowing everything up.
Good solid 6 inches north of silverthorne today. Shit is G L O P fo'sho. 6 inches on the dirt, nada on the roads.
Comically large flakes here right now, and it's white.
Heading to LL tomorrow :D LET IT SNOW!!!

Radar is very impressive right now.
Could this possibly turn into a nice upslope for the Berthoud area? Looks like its beginning to head east slowly with temps ripe for a slathering. Anyone seeing anything more than casual puking?
A Basin ski'd like about 9" for much of the morning (as long as you stayed off the boiler plate below,) with a brief hour of sunshine that manked everything. Looking toward the Gore it was dark and begining to bring some nice dip n' dot snow in again around 3. With some promise for more.
