General Conditions: Wacky weather. Friday was a complete mess up in the mountains. There was 4 to 6 inches of heavy snow. The snow was a wet mess up to 9500 feet or so. Above that, rime was coating everything with ice. Riding conditions are horrible. The only good thing I can think of is that this will provide a supportable base once everything has frozen up again. Temperatures were in the mid 20s overnight. It's hard to say what the wind was doing because all of the anemometers are rimed up with ice and are not spinning. Model data suggests light to moderate speed wind from the southwest.

Mountain Weather: Today we're going to have cloudy skies, warm temperatures and increasing wind from the southwest. Temperatures will get into the mid to upper 30s. Wind will be light to moderate in speed this morning and increase a bit this afternoon. Another storm is moving in and we should see some precipitation starting late today and lingering into Monday morning. The majority of the precip will happen Sunday into Monday. Unfortunately, weather model trends are becoming dryer with this system. I'm only expecting 3 to 5 inches of snow by Monday. This is going to be another fairly warm event with temperatures in the upper 20s to around freezing. Wind will be from the southwest during this storm. It looks like mostly moderate speeds with a few periods of stronger speeds.
