As of Sunday at 400am, the mid-mountain snow stake is reading 4-5 inches. This is much lower than I was expecting, but the storm is not yet over, and on the upper half of the mountain, an additional 2-4 inches should accumulate before the snow stops early this morning. While temperatures are finally starting to cool, the freezing level is between the base and mid-mountain, so like Saturday, expect thick, dense powder, with the best conditions at the highest elevations. Also, get after the snow early because I expect some sunshine, and the high sun angle of April will quickly thicken the already thick snow!

From Sunday afternoon through Monday mid-morning, expect a final wave of 3-6 inches of colder, fluffier snow. This should make Monday morning’s snow quality pretty good with colder fluff on top of the deep, thicker snow from this weekend.

For the middle of the week, the weather will be dry and warm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Then we’ll see another storm from Thursday night through Saturday with 4-8+ inches possible. This will be a colder storm, so the entire mountain should get snow.

After that, Sunday and Monday, April 15-16, should be dry, then chances for snow will return starting around Tuesday, April 17th.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for an update each morning!
