The current weather pattern is a dry one, but at least temperatures will be cold enough during the nights and part of the days so that snowmaking will be feasible across the mountain.

On Sunday morning, we can see some snow being made on the lower part of the mountain.

This week's weather will be more of the same, with dry conditions, mostly sunny skies, and daytime highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Open terrain is still limited and that likely will not change much this week, even though snowmaking will be possible at times.

The only wrinkle in this week's weather will be the chance for a few showers, cooler temperatures, and gusty winds on or around Thursday, November 16.

Looking farther ahead, the chance for our next storm will be between Saturday, November 18, and Monday, November 20. The forecast for this system ranges from a weaker storm that might deliver just a few inches of natural snow, to a stronger storm that could deliver double-digit snow totals. We are still about one week away from the storm, so it's too soon to narrow the snowfall range. I hope that we'll be able to talk about more specific timing and snow totals by the middle of this week.

Thanks for reading!
