We have waited more than long enough for the snow to arrive and it is almost here. We will pick up quite a bit of snow and it could be enough to open most of the terrain by this time next week.
The snow should begin to fall by Thursday afternoon. By Friday morning we are looking for around 6-9 inches at the base and 9-12 inches at the summit from storm number one.
A bigger storm moves in on Friday lasting into Saturday with lots of moisture. A little bit of forecast model disagreement on the total precip and on the snow levels. Right now it looks like the snow levels may briefly rise just above the base lodge Friday night before falling Saturday morning.
We could pick up a foot and a half at the base once it turns back to snow and up to 3 feet at the summit through Saturday. That brings the storm totals up 2 feet at the base lodge and up to 4 feet at the summit.
Sunday we have another big storm that is colder with snow levels down to lake level. This storm looks like it could bring 1-2+ feet of snow to the entire mountain. Then there is another storm for Tuesday into Wednesday that could bring several inches or more.
Total snowfall through next Wednesday looks like we could hit 4-5 feet at the base lodge and 5-7 feet at the summit. These amounts could still increase or decrease but that is the best estimate as of today's forecast model runs. BA
