Friday offered soft early morning turns, then a wave of intense snow fell on Friday late afternoon with 2-9 inches of accumulation, and most of this new snow should be untouched as of Saturday morning. Enjoy the powder for now because the next 10-ish days look mostly dry.

A powerful storm produced deep snow totals at Banff and Lake Louise this week with moderate totals for the BC Powder Highway. The storm is now working its way through the U.S. Rockies late this week. Heavy snow fell in the Northern Rockies on Thursday and will spread into Utah and Colorado on Friday. Next week is looking dry for most areas, except for Alaska which will see heavy snow.
