Current Conditions: A cold unstable air mass in northwest flow delivered another 4 to 5 inches during the day on Sunday to areas orographically favored by that flow (ie roughly Pleasant Creek through Manti Canyon). This brings totals up to around 20 inches with two inches of water since Friday. Riding conditions are much improved but people need to be very careful to not get into avalanche terrain if you choose to recreate during the HIGH avalanche danger. Temperatures were in the low teens overnight and the west wind is pretty light.

Mountain Weather: Another pretty impressive looking storm is on tap for this afternoon into Tuesday. We'll see snowfall start out in a "warm air advection" pattern (ie warm front) with a west southwest flow sometime around noon. By tonight cold air moves in an the flow shifts northwest. It looks like we should see snow on Tuesday as well. Rough snow total estimates are a foot plus by Wednesday. Models are advertising upwards of an inch and a half of water so we could be well over a foot if things shake out right. This is going to be a bit windier event than the last storm especially when the flow switches northwest tonight. For today, just anticipate clouds with the chance of snow this afternoon. Temperatures should get into the low 20s by this afternoon and west southwest wind will be fairly light but increasing later.
