As for tomorrow, if these winds are for real, then the lifts will be running.

Well I just put into the NOAA website Loon, and it appears there shouldn't be that much wind...


Mostly sunny, with a high near 23. Wind chill values as low as zero. West wind around 10 mph.

Maybe that is the alternative?

The forecast that I was looking is for 3550'. The other forecasts show a little wind but not at altitude. I will decide in the morning when I look at the NRT cam and see if the Canyon quad chairs are swinging.

Snow-forecast.com For snow at base. Was very very accurate last year
Snowforecast.com (don't trust their snow predictions)
The EMS one has a decent map you can click on and it will take into account elevation.

Emailed you about next week. I have to work Thurs and Fri this week.
