First Dusting for the Peaks?
Updated 3 days ago Bryan Allegretto
Nice weather through Friday. Winds pick up later Friday through the weekend. A storm moves through Sunday into Sunday night. Then cooler behind the storm into early next week. The long-range looks dry.

Final Forecast for 2020-2021
Updated 4 months ago Alan Smith
An active pattern across the Rockies continues to deliver late-season snow to the remaining ski areas that are open in Colorado. Later this week, a storm will bring high elevation snow to the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies, and over the weekend, portions of the Northern U.S. Rockies (especially Montana) could see heavy snow.

Drier Pattern Sets Up...
