A larger and rather complex system is bringing rain and snow to the Midwest Saturday morning which eventually transitions to lake effect snow. Looking ahead to next week, things remain quiet, with no major snow storms expected, but we should see better snowmaking conditions to start the week.

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.
