A good 4" on the ground this morning. Not sure how the mountain is reporting 2.

Hear the "official" overnight was 2", but that was at 5am...up to 6" by 8:30

**montanaskier** · 02-13-2012, 11:31 AM

a couple inches on the valley floor....and snowed probably a couple more than the 4 and 5 reported since 5:30. Clearing out now. Hope next week brings a shift north for the bulk of the snow.

snowforecast.com says high pressure for next week...dunno

Breck skied well this morning. Around 8" new up top.

**The SnowShow** · 02-13-2012, 03:22 PM

Bah, knew I should have skipped work. The 2" forecast scared me off the drive from foco.

Skied like 6" or 7" on Vail, best day yet for me (I was gone for Jan). Nice to have a quiet weekday pow-day.

No reason to stick around though, this next storm keeps getting bumped further & further south. Gonna be sick in AZ & NM!

tomorrow/tomorrow night but like Goat said it's digging further and further south so maybe an inch or two. Then it looks dry thru the weekend. Next week looked snowy at first but now it looks like maybe some ridging again(NWS is still saying at least some snow). I'd head south if you can and want some deep.

**stupendous man** · 02-13-2012, 05:57 PM

mary jane skied well with about 6" in most places.

**SkiBall** · 02-13-2012, 06:59 PM

Definitely was nice having a Monday powder day at Vail. I still don't think I am in mid-season form yet, I am beat.

2" at 5am.......and then it kept snowing all morning. Their Facebook update was 6" at 8:30 and I found about 8" up top when Imperial Chair opened at 10:45.

**BDKeg** · 02-14-2012, 08:26 AM

15 inches in the last 48 hours and more on the way...these two storms haven't disappointed.

**Rontele** · 02-14-2012, 05:12 PM

With a bit more run to run consistency, I'll start getting excited about late weekend into next week. I'm in Carbondale through Wednesday...

You clearly just jinxed yourself

**gratzo** · 02-15-2012, 09:20 AM

Skied Vail on Monday and Breck on Tuesday. Really fun snow on the front-side Chair 10 bumps on Monday at Vail, and skied some great (wind-blown-in) snow up high at Breck yesterday. Overall, things are still a bit thin here and there, but it's pretty darn fun.

Next storm is Sunday night / Monday, and it does look like it'll split. However, there should be snow for everyone, with the most in the southern 1/3rd of Colorado. Then there could be an active northwest flow through the rest of next week. I'm not overly excited, but we're in a good position for success...

Monday is looking good... sucks that it's a holiday. Hopefully get 6-10" before the lifts turn.

**The SnowShow** · 02-15-2012, 12:45 PM

^^is Vail/BC blacked out?

**pappag** · 02-15-2012, 12:46 PM

Vail/BC is blacked out Sat/Sun if you have the epic local pass.

**The SnowShow** · 02-15-2012, 12:50 PM

Thanks...glad it's not on Monday
Hopefully it won't dig too far south and give EC/Summit a nice pow day.
