Saturday will be a warm and sunny day with great snow coverage across the mountain! Enjoy the sunshine because clouds will roll in on Saturday evening and cloudy and snowy weather should continue through all of next week.

Initially, the storm on Sunday and Monday will be warm with a freezing level close to the base area elevation. Then cooler air and more intense snow should arrive on Monday night, which should lead to a fun powder morning on Tuesday.

Following that wave of snow, we could see a lull on Tuesday afternoon and evening, then another round of steadier snow could begin on Wednesday and last through Friday.

Total snowfall through the week should be in the 12-24 inch range, and for the second week in a row, conditions should get better and better each day. What more can we ask for?!
