Colorado is about to get hit hard

**ride easy** · 11-29-2007, 08:45 PM

We had two guys from CAIC up at Beaver Creek doing some forecasting, and they're calling for up to 20 inches in the Vail-BC area by Sunday, and up to two meters of snow in the southern San Juans. They also said that's it could be pretty dry for awhile after this storm.

2 feet around Vail and Beaver Creek? Will they potentially include Breck/Keystone?

**nick > jesus** · 11-29-2007, 10:59 PM

i hope this gets blown though and then gets stuck on the continental divide until its empty

**GBB** · 11-29-2007, 11:01 PM

hopefully all of this will stabilize by next weekend when i'm able to come out.

Sweeeeet, this means bring powder boards to telluride for the JKOTM?

**montanaskier** · 11-29-2007, 11:19 PM

fingers crossed. And yes it does look dry until the 13th or so afterwards

**extreeski** · 11-29-2007, 11:27 PM

Just like that 15 day forecast Blurred posted which had sunshine everyday?

**cold_smoke** · 11-29-2007, 11:38 PM

Update...forecasters confidence continues to rise with this storm
as very moist subtropical air continues to stream northward into the
southwestern states. Brand new 00z model runs continue being very
aggressive with snowfall amounts over most of out mountains...with
areas along and south of Interstate 70 hit the hardest starting
midday Friday and continuing into Saturday night. See little reason
to continue on with the watch as warning level snowfall will occur
with this storm. Potential for over four feet of snow not out of
the question...especially for the southwest San Juans...where 24
hours of moist southwest flow...combined with strong jet dynamics
bring US our heaviest snows in quite some time. Also taking note
that the system appears to be just a tad colder than earlier
thinking...and will need to watch the northwest plateau region for
late periods...as new NAM kicking out six plus inches for those
areas. This will be a dynamic storm and things will be changing
fairly quickly...so those planning travel throughout the region are
urged to monitor the forecasts closely.

Godspeed, Hoose. Godspeed.

eeeeyessss

at first, I was going to write only the last sentence of this entire statement and then I realized it needed to be said. All this time people have been giving up on winter and sharing non-stoke with us. Let it be known that your stupid flame wars and threads are not wanted. We are not looking for stupid little fights or any other reason you can come up with to raise your post count. We want pics/stoke. We want Trackheads heli photos. We want Joe4186's pow shots and we also want pointedem's terminator cliff huck photos. So let's get back to what this place is reall about.

ANY ONE READY FOR SOME POW TURNS!
