Thursday will be sunny with highs in the 30s, and then we'll see snow from Friday through Sunday with potential powder days on both Saturday and Sunday. My summary message is that I think you'll enjoy skiing both days this weekend with fresh snow for each day. I'm giving you the top-level message because while I have confidence that we'll see a storm total of about 8-15 inches, I have much lower confidence in the details of the forecast, like exactly when we'll see the heaviest snow. My best estimate of the details is that we'll see an initial round of heavier snowfall Friday midday through Friday night, then we could see a lull on Saturday morning through midday, with more snow Saturday afternoon through Sunday midday. I might pick Sunday as the day with better snow conditions since the extra time will allow the base to soften. That said, why ski one day when you can ski two? After this storm, Monday through next Wednesday or Thursday should be dry yet chilly with highs in the 20s. Then another storm is likely late next week or weekend (February 27-March 1st, ish).
