Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Chase Powder Daily Snow

By Powderchaser Steve, Forecaster Posted 6 years ago February 15, 2018

Significant snowfall likely for the west over the next 5 days.

Summary

The next 5 days are going to be deep especially in the Pacific Northwest, Wyoming, central Montana, areas of Colorado, and even the Wasatch gets into the action by early next week.

Short Term Forecast

Snow will increase over the Tetons tonight and Thursday.  Models pump out 3-6 tonight with another 2-4 Thursday. Colder temps will enhance amounts (Higher snow ratios to water) so it's likely 7-8 falls by 10 AM Thursday and additional 2-4 during the late morning early PM.  Wind direction from the SW favors JHMR over Targhee, however a shift to the West Thursday will put both into equal play. Teton Pass will ride really good on Thursday!  Expect all mountains of the Tetons to nab moderate to possibly deep amounts by late Thursday (5-10) and 4-7 at the bases.

In Colorado, moderate snow favors the Southern San Juans tonight and Thursday.  Expect 3-6 tonight over Wolf Creek with double that by noon Thursday. SW winds in Colorado initially favor those areas before shifting west after daybreak Thursday.
