Colorado 2016-17 Colorado Weather

[nay]

Incoming storm looking interesting, but maybe no good impacts outside of the Front Range.

There's about 15 hours in the models of NE flow upslope into the foothills late Thu evening to Fri morning, and then it really winds up moving east of the rockies and it's going to howl out of the north.

I'm probably going to get hammered at home...



...but hard to say if anybody but Eldora does really well in this forecast since Loveland would need the NE flow up to mountaintop. Summit would seem to mostly miss out with the storm track along the CO/NM border.

Good news is the Sun and Tue storms are still in the parade.

Er, I do not think that means what you meant it to mean.

You're getting hammered to ski your home mountain. It's that bad?

Getting hammered and skiing Monument Hill could be fun, although the grooming is seriously sketchy .

This is looking better. For Loveland Pass:

Quite a spread still. I vote for "potential for this much".

Radar echoes have exploded over the last hour or so. WP showing 4" already, Loveland and A-Basin about 2".



About to change over to (heavy) snow out my window...

Steamboat piwder cam is showing 3.5-4.

One last day, before you go under the knife?

 

[Ron]

oh noooooo.

Two pretty big Four Corners lows lined up right now. First one optimistically is 8-15' on the northern Front Range east slopes, although Monarch could be hit really hard.

Second one is apparently colder and looking stronger, but no details yet. Southern CO / Northern NM skiing would seem to be in the bullseye this week...

I'm excited for this week's forecast. Still weekend warrioring, but the frequent small dumps should make everything ski much more nicely.

I still haven't skied the steeper portions of Horseshoe Bowl or CJ's this season. Still haven't skied Y Chutes, Boundary Chutes, or any trees - not even Peerless ... lots to ski still. Although maybe trees are not so smart after all the melt.

Storm track is staying a little bit south over central NM. Still, compared to most of March, this looks really good...

So now my Saturday flights to London are under a winter weather waiver (switched to getting out earlier via LAX to avoid thunderstorms in IAH). Hope it results in big snow for the mountains. Taking one for the team here.

I'm leavin' on a jet plane...
