Current Conditions: There's about a foot of snow on average in the higher terrain. This snow fell over the last month. It has become weak through the near surface faceting process. There is just enough to be able to scoot around a little on skis and ride on roads with snowmobiles. Skies cleared out overnight and temperatures dropped into the single digits. The wind is almost calm.

Mountain Weather: Today we'll see clear skies with increasing clouds later on. Ridgetop temperatures should get into the mid to upper 20s. The wind will be light from the southwest and increase in speed a bit this afternoon. The focus is on a storm that will start tonight and linger into Wednesday. The first half of the storm is going to be really warm with the rain/snow line up near 8000'. Weather models are advertising anywhere from 12 to a whopping 40 inches of snow by the time it's done on Wednesday. I think 12 to 20 inches is a reasonable amount to expect. Unfortunately, following this storm, it looks like a massive ridge of high pressure moves in for early December with no storms on the horizon.
