Friday

Friday was mostly sunny and warm with a high in the low 30s. Winds became stronger in the evening.

Saturday

Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high temperature in the low 30s, and expect gusty winds at the summit reaching 30-50+ mph.

Saturday Night to Monday

Intense snow will begin on Saturday night around or just before midnight, and the snow should continue through early Sunday with 6-12 inches by Sunday mid-morning.

From Sunday midday through Monday midday, waves of snow should continue, and we'll likely see another 5+ inches of accumulation.

This means that both Sunday and Monday should be powder days.

There is some upside potential to this forecast from Sunday midday through Monday midday. If the cold front happens to stall directly over the mountain (it'll be a close call of a few tens of miles in either direction), then we could see 10+ inches from later Sunday through early Monday, with total accumulations over two feet.

Tuesday to Friday

I have low confidence in the forecast for these four days.

Tuesday and Wednesday could range from "dry" to "continued snow showers with a few inches of accumulation".

On Thursday and Friday, the next storm should move through the Rockies, though this system may track too far to the south to deliver a lot of snow. We'll see.

Longer Range

From Saturday, March 9 to Tuesday, March 12, we should see drier weather.

Then from Wednesday, March 13, to Friday, March 15, another storm will move through the Rockies and our chances for snow will increase.

My next update will be Sunday morning.
