Our Gold Sponsors

Powderchaser Luke here again, with a Sunday afternoon forecast update. We have an active storm track continuing over the Western US this week, albeit with no major storms on the horizon. Still, many areas will see light to moderate snowfall during the first half of the week, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.  While there will be no incredibly deep 24 hour snowfalls, many areas will see a nice refresh to start the holiday week. Check out the total snowfall through Saturday from the GFS:

Short Term

California

Starting this afternoon snowfall will begin falling in the Sierra. The resorts around Lake Tahoe will generally see 6-12\" while Mammoth may eek out a little more, in the 8-14\" range, by Monday morning. The snow should continue to fall lightly through Tuesday in the central and Southern Sierra. Some high winds this afternoon may allow for lift closures that will make tomorrow morning's turns a little deeper.

Arizona

The mountains will see a long duration snowfall event over the next several days, with some decent snow totals by the time the snow winds down. Arizona Snowbowl will see the snow start to pile up Tuesday morning, and will likely snow on and off through Saturday, as a few different storms affect the area. It's a little early to nail down the exact totals for this long event, but we are thinking 1-2 feet for the Snowbowl by the time the storm wraps up. We will have updates on totals throughout the week.

New Mexico/Utah/Colorado/Wyoming

As previously mentioned, this isn't a terribly exciting storm for these areas. From Tuesday to Thursday, generally 4-8\" will fall in Northern Utah in the Cottonwoods, the mountains of Northern New Mexico, SW Colorado, and the Tetons. Southern Utah will see a little big higher totals during that time. Another storm will track up through the Southwest at the end of the week that will bring additional snowfall to these areas, but we will hold off on totals from this wave until a later update.

Mid Term

The next storm we are tracking comes into the PNW sometime next weekend. After receiving a ton of base building snow in many areas of the PNW over the past several days, we are hopeful for a chasable storm. We are watching this storm in the NE Pacific below:

That'll do it for today, see you in the white room.
