An approaching storm will bring severe winds on Friday afternoon with a few stray snow flurries in the northern mountains. On Saturday morning, the storm will cross Raton Pass. Cuchara is favored for 3-6" with only a dusting of snow possible for Angel Fire, Red River, and maybe Taos. Temperatures on Saturday morning will be frigid. We then pivot to a possible storm around December 13th-14th.

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.
