The storm delivered 15-25 inches of snow to the southern mountains and 4-8+ inches to the northern and central mountains. There was enough new snow in the south for people to make legitimate turns, and Wolf Creek will start daily operations on Tuesday, October 22. Coming up, we'll see mostly dry weather for a week, then there will be a high chance for storms starting around October 29.

21 inches at Wolf Creek last weekend with the first resort to announce an opening date this week. As forecasted the low pressure that stalled over the 4 corners is now sliding east and north impacting the central and northern ranges of Colorado. Next week could be deep!

The Southern Rockies will see a break in the pattern this week after receiving heavy snow over the weekend. Overall, warmer temperatures are expected across the Lower 48, though weaker storms will bring light rain & snow to the Northwest at times. A stronger storm will begin to impact the Pacific NW this weekend, with the potential for a colder & more active pattern across the West next week.

La Nina conditions are growing and are favored to emerge ahead of the 2024-25 winter season. This winter forecast preview will dig into historical snowfall data for weak La Nina winters and provide some clues on what that could mean for Aspen Snowmass.

Thanks for reading this summer! For the rest of this week, a cold front moving across the Central Rockies will bring showers & t-storms to WY, CO, & NM Wed-Thu while the West Coast states will see a late-season heat wave. Next week, isolated to scattered showers & t-storms develop across the West with continued mild temps. Heading into mid-month, the PNW will trend wetter and cooler.
