It is a chilly and cloudy Tuesday morning as we wait for the next storm to arrive.

On Tuesday, expect snowflakes by the afternoon with limited accumulations and a high temperature in the teens. Winds will be gusty, especially toward the summit.

On Tuesday night, some snow and gusty winds will continue. Accumulations will likely be light.

For Wednesday morning, there might be soft turns in the morning, though we'll still be ahead of the main part of the storm.

From Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night, a band of intense snow should hit the mountain with low visibility, cooling temperatures in the teens, and strong winds. While this might create softer turns for last chair, I think that the most snow will fall near and just after the time that lifts close.

On Thursday morning, there should be fun and soft turns for first chair thanks to the intense snow from later Wednesday and Wednesday night, and we could also see some snowfall continue throughout the day on Thursday.

Total accumulations from Tuesday through Thursday should be 10-20 inches. The snow quality could be a mix between fluffy and dense due to changing temperatures and strong wind speeds. In terms of finding the best snow, Thursday's first chair could be the best call. 

Looking farther ahead, Friday could bring a break in the snow, then on Saturday into Sunday, another storm may deliver a few more inches of snow accumulation.

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