With another La Nina year predicted to come through this winter, I figure it's time to start this back up again and get some snow stokage goin round.

Looks like this storm could drop a few more inches on the higher elevations. Hopefully it starts coolin down up there soon enough so it'll start to stick get them snow guns blowin.


Tonight: Occasional rain and snow. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 29. South wind between 7 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

6-10" forecast for 13000' near loveland pass. Anybody have some thoughts on permanent snowfields to hit up once we get a storm or 2. Don't really want to hit anything too steep like skyscraper where the snow will have already sluffed off or will slide the minute a ski touches it.

Weird, the forcast I posted was the point forcast for Lawnee peak at Abay. Must've changed already. Not sure of any other good ones besides st. mary's but I'd be down for some early season fun.
