Snow depths are 6"-18" above 8,500' with some isolated areas along upper elevation ridges close to 2'. Drew Hardesty traveled along the Park City Ridgeline in the Salt lake mountains on Friday, 11/8 where he saw 12-16" of snow on northerly aspects (photo below). With a low sun angle, cold temperatures, and clear skies, Drew - and others - have noticed the thin snowpack is weakening and becoming faceted. For now, this is not a problem, but keep in mind this existing snow will be a possible weak layer once we begin to receive more snow.

But you may be wondering: when will we receive more snow? For this weekend, expect mostly clear skies, light winds, and temperatures warming into the upper 30's through mid 40's F. We are expecting a weak storm on Tuesday that may deliver a few inches of snow, with high pressure returning on Wednesday. The weather models have been inconsistent, but are hinting at a storm around the weekend of November 16/17.
