On Tuesday night, 3 inches of snow fell on the mid-mountain snow stake. This was on the upper end of the forecast and I'm happy to see it. Yes, 3 inches isn't much, but it's something, and it should put a little refresh on the few frontside trails that are opening today (Wednesday, November 17 is opening day, officially with 3 trails and 3 lifts open on the lower part of the mountain).

Wednesday will be dry and will turn out to be sunny with cooler temperatures that top out in the low 20s and drop into the teens on Wednesday night. This should allow crews to make snow for a solid 24-36 hour period.

Thursday and Friday will be dry and warmer with highs in the 30s.

From Friday night through Sunday morning, another weak storm could bring light snow with accumulations ranging from a dusting to 3 inches. I cannot yet pin down when during this 36-hour stretch that we'll have the best chance for snow.

In the longer range, there is some potentially exciting news. Between Tuesday, November 23, and Thursday, November 25, a storm might (just might) track toward Colorado from the southwest, and this storm might (just might) bring a healthy combination of moisture and storm energy to create significant snow. Chances are still low that these ingredients come together perfectly, but at least there's a chance. 

Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
