Wednesday was dry and warm-ish with on-mountain temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s.

Now on Thursday morning, it's another gorgeous start to the day and we'll see sunny skies and a high temperature in the 40s to low 50s.

Friday will be a mixed day with dry, warm, and breezy weather all day, then snow showers will begin on Friday late afternoon or early evening and will continue on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

By Saturday morning, we should have 2-4 inches of new snow on the ground which should ride nicely on the groomed runs. During the day on Saturday, more snow showers will occur, with the most intense showers likely during the afternoon and on Saturday evening with another 2-5 inches of accumulation. This means that the last run on Saturday afternoon and more likely the first run on Sunday morning should be when we'll enjoy the softest snow from this storm.

Sunday and Sunday night will be mixed with likely dry weather on Sunday morning followed by perhaps some snow showers later on Sunday afternoon, though I have lower confidence about what will happen with these snow showers as they might stay just south and east of the mountain. Sunday is closing day, and it'll likely feature a bit of every type of weather from some sunshine to some snow showers – a fitting end to the season!

Thanks for reading!
