Following our 9-inch storm on Wednesday night, we will go through a stretch of dry and calm weather with a low likelihood of significant snow between now and Christmas.

Our snowpack is at 79% of average and we are riding on just about 17% of total trails, so we are in catch-up mode for mid-December.

From a weather perspective, if you like sunshine and warm-ish temperatures, then the next six days will be for you as we'll see dry conditions and high temperatures mostly in the 30s.

The next chances for storms will be sometime between Thursday, December 21, and Monday, December 25. Right now, it appears that storms during this time will mostly track to the northwest and to the southwest of Colorado, which would not lead to significant snow for us here at Telluride, though there is a chance for more snow if the storm to the southwest tracks a little farther to the north. 

I wish I had better news, and thanks for reading!
