Congratulations for making it through what I hope was a great Summer for everyone! Winter has arrived especially in the Wasatch where 36 inches has fallen in the past 2 days! Reports from the BackCountry at Alta were "EPIC FLUFF" as cold temperatures brought a real blast of low density snow on top of what fell several days ago. Snowbird opens on Friday with top to Bottom Skiing! Colorado did not fare as well as anywhere from 4-16 inches fell at most resorts especially the Aspen Area. Steamboat has received around 8 inches as of 10am today. High Pressure takes hold until late this weekend where another very cold storm will hit the Rockies! This system is looking to take a more Southerly path than the last one however everyone should get into the action to some extent! Long Range models are flip flopping on any real trends yet for the season but it appears to be leaning more towards a moderate year for snowfall and most likely nothing as epic as the 650 inches plus from 2007-08. See you on the slopes!

Don't put the Phat boards away just yet as we may encounter a decent several days of April Snow especially by Thursday! Low pressure will move into UT Sunday Night and Monday with light to moderate snow (4-7 inches) putting some more dust on the surface by Monday afternoon. High Pressure takes hold Tuesday before the next stronger system which I like much better begins to affect the Wasatch on Wednesday around noon. Colorado will see moderate snow from this event on Wednesday night and Thursday. The track is still a bit too far out to predict where and how much snow will fall but their is a likely chance of an excess of 8 inches by Thursday Morning.
This will be the last Powder Broadcast for the season as we continue to bring up more enhancements on www.powderchasers.com There will be new pics, and a menu to subscribe and unsubscribe thanks to Michael Faas in Aspen who is working hard on the site and putting up with my meager computer skills. I hope everyone had a great season and lets start praying for another year like this one! Several Snow total records were set this year including places like Steamboat, Alta, Jackson Hole and my guess for Aspen!

A very cold moist storm will continue over the Tetons today where they have seen over 100 inches of new snow in the past 2 weeks.The Jet has kept most of the Pow up North and as of 4am this morning they were continuing to see 1 inch per hour snowfall at Jackson Hole. We may finally see a decent blast of snow in the Wasatch by Sunday (Late morning favoring Park City and South with SW flow) and into Colorado by Sunday night. Winds turn NW Sunday night bringing heavy snow to the Cottonwoods. This storm will track right along the I-70 corridor favoring the Central Mountains and extend as far North as perhaps the Salt Lake Valley. Monday will be a PHAT mid winter day! My guestimate at this point is 8-14 inches for the Wasatch with similar amounts from Aspen to the Vail Valley. Higher Amounts are possible in Colorado. High Pressure grabs you on late Monday to Wednesday when another storm is possible due midweek?
