Summary

I am still hunkered down in Jackson where storm totals are at 24 inches currently. "The Hobacks were smooth with wind loaded refills all morning That's 4K vertical where could essentially point it" That's nothing compared to the Sierra that is reporting 60 inches in 2 days at Heavenly, 102 inches at the summit of Mammoth in 5 days. Colorado got slammed with the goods if you could get there (I-70 was closed at Vail Pass from an avalanche) and if your resort was open? Arapahoe Basin closed early today, Crested Butte had limited openings (Deep), and from what I am hearing Breckenridge was over the knees (Mountain Nomads report) with much of the upper mountain remaining closed. Reports from Vail were "Top 10 days" in a long time from a trustworthy local. Deer Valley reported 19 in 24 hours where Park City had 12 (Slightly higher elevation can make a big difference with wet storms and DV likes Southerly flow). There is nothing to talk about in the Sierra except it's "Nipple Deep" (Can I say that), and most resorts are with very limited openings. Sun Valley looked epic on the web cams today with several feet over the past few days. Another 5-9 feet is expected in the Sierra. My suggestion is that you choose resorts with low angle skiing or get out of dodge and hit the Rockies where ropes are dropping. "Bigger is not always better" in the short run but long term moisture is always welcome. Lets cut to the chase below in the short term forecast.
