Was snowing in the city when I left but quickly cleared out as I climbed. Light snow at the tunnel and on VP.

Wait, you get your forecast from the Weather Channel?

**smitchell333** · 02-20-2013, 07:53 PM

Good/bad as any source really

Just have their 48 hr bookmarked as a nice visual representation.

**The SnowShow** · 02-20-2013, 09:14 PM

Loveland and Copper snow stakes looking sad...

**montanaskier** · 02-20-2013, 10:08 PM

No snow in EC. Maybe Saturday pans out!

**capulin overdrive** · 02-20-2013, 10:56 PM

Stay positive they'll be some good somewhere, just not everywhere.

CB had about 2" before they cleared at 4pm today, and now about 3" with God knows what blocking the inch marks!

Monarch might good tomorrow.

**bamboocoreONLY** · 02-20-2013, 11:13 PM

bout 2 inches since it started snowing in breck (more-so higher up ski hill rd, not all the way down in town)

**alpinevibes** · 02-20-2013, 11:38 PM

Nearly pulled the trigger this morning, Decided to be responsible and work on client projects with impending deadlines. I'm already regretting that decision.

Might be headed down tomorrow with N1CK.

Something is broken over there. There is at least 6" at the base. Their measurements have been off for weeks.

**montanaskier** · 02-21-2013, 10:21 AM

3" at the house and light snow this morning. Saturdays storm looks like a fast mover but still think Sunday is gonna be good.

**ASmileyFace** · 02-21-2013, 10:32 AM

Purg got skunked hard with this storm. Only 2" when wolife got 16"? If only i had bought a season pass this year...

when i can go hike the bowl at 1:45pm on president's day, arrive to a deserted ski area that reported 3", and ski shin deep untracked pow almost the entire way down, i'm a-ok with them sand bagging the totals.

**knumbskull** · 02-21-2013, 12:07 PM

How is it that Sunlight has a 24hr live feed of their snow stake yet Aspen can't even report the correct snow totals? Pretty incredible for a "world class" resort. Their snow reports have been wrong several times this year not just under reported. I don't hardly trust the numbers on the website and often call the snowphone to confirm. Its pathetic. They don't even answer my emails and their website is shit.

**BDKeg** · 02-21-2013, 12:16 PM

Completely agree. Apparently, they have hired a new company to redesign the site, but it's not gonna be done for a little while.

**rmnpsplitter** · 02-21-2013, 12:38 PM

2-4" in rmnp seemed about right this morning. Snowing lightly but steadily. Another 2-4" could fall if it keeps up. Here's some shots from Mario's gulley in the terrain park.
