The main story for the next few days will be how many resorts can fire up the snowguns and for how long before warmer air arrives late next week. Sadly, no major snowstorms are expected for the next 5+ days though lake effect snow returns at times through Wednesday.

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.
