Saturday

The storm's total snowfall so far is about 6 inches.

Of that, just about 1 inch fell on Friday night, so on Saturday morning, there will be just a little untouched snow on top of a soft base.

During the day on Saturday, the combination of storm energy, a favorable wind direction, and lingering moisture will combine to create snow showers from the morning through the early evening. This should result in another 3-6+ inches of accumulation and the continuation of soft and powdery conditions on Saturday.

Also, with cooler temperatures in the teens, this snow should be somewhat fluffier compared with the snow that fell on Friday.

Sunday

On Sunday morning, there should be soft conditions due to the snow that fell on Saturday, and because there could be a few inches of accumulation on Saturday late afternoon and evening, there might be some untouched snow for Sunday morning's first chair. Weatherwise, Sunday morning will be dry with a temperature in the upper single digits to low teens.

On Sunday afternoon, the next storm will bring snow and there could be a dusting to an inch or so of new snow accumulation by the last chair.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

Monday should be a powder day with 2-5+ inches of snow falling on Sunday night and 3-6+ inches of snow falling on Monday during the day. The most intense snow will be close to or just north of the mountain, so it'll be a game of a few miles in one direction or the other to determine if the powder is deep, medium, or if the mountain just misses the most snow.

Tuesday is iffy as a lot of the snow could move south of the mountain, but there could at least be a few inches of new snow any time from Monday night through Tuesday during the day.

And Wednesday may be another powder day, with 2-5+ inches of snow falling from Tuesday night through Wednesday midday.

All three days should have temperatures in the upper teens to mid-20s.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday

Thursday should start with dry weather, then snow may arrive at some point during the day or evening.

Friday could be a low-end powder day with a few inches of new snow.

Saturday may also be a low-end powder day with another few inches of new snow.

All three days should have temperatures in the 20s.

Longer Range

Sunday, February 23 through Thursday, February 27 should be dry with high temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s. Then there will be a chance for more snow any time between Friday, February 28, and the first few days of March.
