With clear skies overhead, a waxing moon casts a curious light on our mountains, as brief high pressure settles into the Beehive State. Temperatures have been steadily climbing out of the icebox for the past 24 hours and register in the teens while west and northwest winds blow in the low 20's near the high peaks.

It'll be a brilliant day in the mountains with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures reaching into the upper 20's and low 30's. West and northwest winds should remain relatively well behaved throughout the day, blowing 10-20 mph along the high ridges. Overnight lows dip into the teens.

Expect partly cloudy skies for early Thursday, though clouds and wind increase late in the day, ushering in a quick hitting storm and a fresh, albeit shallow coat of white paint. A break for Saturday with another fast moving system slated for late in the weekend. Not a bottomless cup by any means, but the couple of refills on tap will go a long way to improve spirits and cushion old snow surfaces.

Snowpro and all around amazing person, the ever intrepid Trevor Katz was out and about in the Currant Creek zone yesterday and found Monday nights storm helped reset wind sheltered slopes, but up high snow surfaces remain variable and wind sculpted.
