A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Storm 1 is Friday and Friday night. Pretty much a super-soaker for most of ski country. High elevation and high north mountains could do well on the back-end with a few inches of snow (or more) after a rain start. Models keep waving back and fourth on snow totals for this one.

Storm 2 is Sunday-Monday and at this point is significantly colder than the first storm but precipitation type is still uncertain.

Sugarloaf looks like it will be the most likely winner, but it could be anywhere from 2"-12" total between the two storms. Everything is super elevation dependent but don't count winter out just yet! If it's cold enough there's a lot of precip between these two storms...roughly 2.5"-3" of liquid.

open snow is downright bullish about sunday-thursday. looks like a skip this weekend, and then a cannon/saddleback long weekend april 2-4 (we get off for good Friday!)

The Euro just nuked Maine...and this scenario isn't an outlier...it's been replicated across all three of the major models at varying points in time.

Honestly I'd be thrilled with what it shows for the result in VT as well...

I know many here do not thinks highly of Accuweather but for what it is worth - I do not like this. They have been pretty spot on this season. See how this goes!

Consistently showing 6"+ in Maine for Sunday. Vermont is the big question mark.

And also fwiw Friday night's rain is looking like a lot less and colder. Both Noaa offices in Grey ME and Burlington VT increased their snow forecasts for Friday from .1" to 1" lol.
