Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

[snowcatCO]

My colleague N1CK and I spent hours in the field conducting extensive on-the-ground research today and our findings were congruent with the aforementioned theorem. Conditions were, in fact, amazing.



Started snowing again as we left at 4:40, not sure it will amount to anything. Probably heading back for Sunday, which undoubtedly will not disappoint.

Awesome thanks me and a fellow non mag will be skiing tomorrow. Ill be rocking a purple jacket, red pants, hopefully on pillowfights, ask for change.

Bummed for the summit people. Can't catch a break this year.

You must not pay attention. NW flow has been good to Breck.

Just left Vail Pass and it was absolutely pounding. Got to be at least an inch an hour. Not sure where this is coming from given all the recent downgrades of this storm.

Hope you're right. Not sure I'm buying in quite yet though. Wife and I are likely going to be there tomorrow regardless but would be nice to have some soft snow. It's been super windy today here and pretty warm.

Yeah, not sure how this storm will pan out, but the last few storms on NW flow have treated Breck pretty well. I'm thinking either Monarch or Vail tomorrow.

+1 seems the storm is making it further east than the models show?

Barely anything in Breck though. Seems to be stuck over there, or has it fizzled out already?

[montanaskier]

Snow won't start in earnest til the cold front passes tonight....then the wind shifts. Chad, call me if u head this way.

Looks like it's fizzled. Webcams show sun now at the pass and resort.

puking here in CB, huge flakes. Hopefully this keeps up all night

I see what you did there.

[Kevo]

Cautiously optimistic about this one. Will likely be headed to Vail tomorrow.

[cycology1]

Hows the storm lookin right now in S'boat? Last two mondays there were amazing...would like another!

[Lindahl]

Really coming down in Breck now. Definitely started back up again.

[mfkracing]

Currently hoping for the add ten to the morning report phenomenon at Vail.

[montanaskier]

Snowing here again too....fingers crossed for the morning. If the Beav is close, we'll do that and scrap the crowds.

I skied Vail yesterday and today. The mountain is really FUBAR. Way too many people. Its pretty crazy. It snowed today heavily from about 2-3pm, really nice large flakes too but then it fizzled and the sun came out. It started snowing much later for about an hour maybe, heavily but small flakes, with a good bit of wind (did the wind shift?) but it kinda fizzled also.

It will take a good bit of snow to fill in the hill. Dunno if its gonna happen. Im crossing fingers.

Teh girlfriend ski'ed Monarch today, said it snowed hard from ~10:30 into the afternoon sometime then fizzled out. She brushed off her truck at 4, then went back to the Sidewinder for beers. Started snowing again, and when she left at 5:30 there was over an inch on her car and still coming down. I'm headed down in an hour or so with friends, hoping for decent vis across South Park.

Salmon Flylow pants, Rossi S7's, skiing terribly. Ask for change.

Beav was a zoo today.

When is 1-70 skiing NOT a shitshow?

Vail's been downright tropical recently. I skied right into a large patch of exposed dirt last week. Really fucked up my skis.

I got there at 8:30 and left at 11 and had no issues

Seriously, where at? I noticed a few dirt patches in more exposed spots but the woods were shin/knee deep when I was there on Thursday

[fids11]

Diggity dumping glenwood right now with consistent snow all the way to rifle. Driving was brutal. Hope it sustains

[garuda]

Everywhere in Colorado is going to suck tomorrow. That's what it does here, suck. Nothing to see. Move along. This is not the state you want.
