Friday

At the mid-mountain snow stake, 1 inch accumulated on Thursday afternoon, and 3 inches fell on Thursday night with a bit more now on Friday morning. So there will be about 3-4 inches of new snow to ride on Friday morning.

The weather on Friday should start dry with sunshine, then snow should start again on Friday midday or afternoon with some new accumulation possible by the last chair. The high temperature on Friday will be around 20°F.

Friday Night

On Friday night, the next storm should deliver 2-5+ inches of accumulation.

Saturday

Saturday morning should offer powder for the first chair due to the snow that fell on Friday night, and a few inches of snow may accumulate during the day as snow showers continue. Get out early and expect the high temperature to be in the low-to-mid 20s.

Saturday Night

On Saturday night, another storm should deliver an additional 1-4+ inches of snow. There will be some negative factors, like rising temperatures, and there will also be some positive factors, like a lot of moisture in the air, so be ready for anything - lower totals if things don't come together just right, or higher totals if some of the higher-resolution models are correct.

Sunday

Sunday will likely start with soft conditions and maybe powder if enough snow falls on Saturday night. Then during the day on Sunday, expect snow showers in the morning, transitioning to dry weather during the rest of the day, and a high temperature in the low 30s.

Sunday Night to Tuesday

The final storm in the series should deliver another 4-8+ inches of snow accumulation from Sunday night through Monday afternoon. Monday could offer powder during the morning with conditions staying soft and getting deeper throughout the day. Light snow could continue to accumulate on Monday night as well. Wind speeds will be fast on Sunday night and Monday, and Monday's temperature will be cooler with a high of around 20°F.

Longer Range

January 1-3 should be dry, then our next chance for some snow will be around Saturday, January 4 to Monday, January 6.
