I'm going out west this week and there's a bunch of mixed forecast for Wed, Thur and Friday. I'm hoping a storm gets stuck there Wed. When I try and look it cuts off on Tuesday because I don't have a yearly membership. I know some of you likely do, if you could hook it up that'd be siiiick. Thx

I saw that but then I thought they revised it to be starting Wednesday. How often is powderbuoy right? I'm just not seeing it forecasted nearly as much anywhere else. Fingers crossed

Showin 1-2 Weds AM and 0-1 otherwise. For what it's worth of all subscriptions, opensnow is a solid one to support at only 20 for the year. They do good work. Also also for what it's worth, I rarely use the 10 day and usually just refer to the write ups, which are free with ads, and usually will have good explanations for the next several days. If they don't (like in this case, I checked) then it's probably pretty up in the air for the forecaster to guess as well

powderbouy is solid, pretty reliable source among a lot of skiers here in UT. that and guru dave. wasatchsnowforecast/opensnow has been pretty solid this season too. Its just that a lot of these good storms lately get forecasted as small and then magic happens. Nothing but overproduction lately which is great.
