NOWCAST-
Happy palindrome Two's-Day :)
Yesterday's mini storm wasn't a region-wide barn burner, but it wasn't a bust either, delivering an inch or two at the trailheads and twice that amount with a little elevation gain. Clouds drape our mountains this morning and snow showers are just beginning to fill in again as another band of light snow creeps into the area. Westerly winds barely get anemometers spinning, blowing just 10-20 mph even near the high peaks. Temperatures cratered overnight and hover in the low single digits with a few stations dipping into negative territory early this morning. Riding and turning conditions continue to improve with each little shot of snow.
FORECAST-
Expect mostly cloudy skies with light snow showers through about mid morning. It'll be cold with high temperatures barely cracking into the low 20's. Westerly winds shouldn't get too out of hand, but they do bump into the upper 20's later in the day.
FUTURECAST-
Dang... it looks like the bulk of the next system in the storm queue dives into the central and southern portion of the state. We'll have to watch how the midweek storm plays out, it could bring snow wrecking east and northeast winds to our zone.

Spencer was near Wolf Creek Pass Sunday and caught this viddy of a nimble footed rider not associated with his crew, trigger a fresh wind drift on a steep, northeast facing slope. The quick footed skier was able to get off the moving snow and everyone came home safely. Many thanks for the great info and for taking time to submit a very informative observation.... good on ya for helping out our community! More beta on this slide found

No other significant avalanche activity to report.
