Midwinter conditions today at Alta. Slow-moving system for Monday-Wednesday. Looks good.

Just going to post this here:

It's been snowing pretty hard here in Park City for several hours now. GFS and Canuck show a good snowfall, 12k resolution NAM would end in disappointment. But the highest resolution 4k NAM (below) is a nuke job of probably 17" to 25" for the entire mountain region, so lets hope the below picture is the prediction that verifies!

Spent March 22-27th in Jackson Hole. Absolutely off the charts conditions. The week before we got there they had 41 inches and while we were there they got another 8 inches per night for the first three nights. Too bad they close this weekend. They will close at close to fully open terrain.

Several places will close this weekend. Several in New Mexico are closed already and I think Wolf Creek will close this weekend with great cover. Heard Copper was closing the back bowls after this weekend. Still plenty to ski and I will probably be there the 8th but its a certainly gives me pause to debate my options. (maybe more AB/LL less Copper)

Very slushy day at Deer Valley today. Groomers only in most places as the mashed potatoes were just too thick in most places, but a warm, sunny, beautiful day to end the ski season.

Just got back from Squaw and Mammoth last week. Mini-powder day at Mammoth on my last day. And they got another 6-7" the day after I left.
