Fernie & Panorama are both reporting > 40 cm of snow and will both be opening on Friday with deep (albeit early season) conditions. The next storm will arrive over the weekend with light to moderate snow totals across BC along with low snow levels. We will head into a drier pattern from Monday to Friday (Dec 11th-15th), and then storms could return as early as the Dec 16th-17th weekend.

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.
