The first wave of snow on Thursday night delivered 1-6 inches of accumulation to some northern and central mountains, and this should create fun, soft conditions on Friday morning. From Friday late morning through Friday night, additional showers will bring 1-4+ inches of snow, which should keep conditions on the soft side. After that, it will be a while until we see another significant storm.

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.
