A broad Pacific trough is currently over the Northern Rockies bringing a wide swath of light to moderate snowfall across the Treasure State. In the past 36-hours (as of 7 AM Fri), Big Sky and Bridger Bowl both picked up 9", Lookout Pass 4", and Whitefish 3". Additional accumulations are likely on Friday for most areas. Dry on Sat, then a weak system arrives late Sat night with snow through Sun.

This will serve as quick update to this mornings chase powder forecast. Slower timing for Wyoming, and perhaps slightly deeper for the Cottonwoods.

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.
