I just trust that AZ will have a "storm discussion" thread started at least a week or two in advance. :D

That in conjuction with recent trip reports and then just keeping an eye until the last second for what the weather actually does.

I generally don't trust any weather report more than 1-2 days in advance anyway and I'm always ready to change plans if conditions are not great.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you. Although personally I wouldn't want either of us to be a groupie for me...

Sorry for the hi-jackedness Greg. I seriously do use you for my weather...

I like the layout of snowforecast.com

however, accuracy isn't all that great. In the case of this storm, that's a good thing. As late as yesterday morning there was still a lot of *r* in their forecast for the Whites.

I find that the weather sources I like the most are ones that discuss the weather, not simply put a weather icon up with a hi and low temperature. Obviously powderfreak's reports are even better because in addition to a discussion about a storm, its interactive as well (ability to ask questions, etc.). The other big plus in weather reporting is if the source takes elevation into consideration or is ski-resort specific.
