now you've done it. if it doesn't snow we'll know who to blame. That said I was up there (Alta) today and there was about 10-12 inches already on the ground.

anyone want to go tomorrow?

Another 2 feet and I would consider making the drive from CO.

Yes but I only have alpine gear so I have to bootpack up. I think I'll probably wait until Sunday so I can ski deep pow
I've already got a spot scoped that looks like it has good coverage.

the weatherman said that he wouldn't be surprised if we had that by this time next week.

Two feet in the Wasatch around Alta/Bird would not be surprising at all....liquid precip should be in the 1.5-2 inch range so a little 10 or 12 to 1 ratio would yield some impressive snowfall totals on top of the 8 that's already on the ground at mid Gad at the Bird. Plus another storm system is coming later in the weekend and early next week that could lay down another 6-12.

Tahoe should have around 2 feet higher elevations by the time its all over...

Colorado, west of a Steamboat-Vail-Aspen line look favorable for a 10-20 incher with isolated 20-25 inch totals.

Rip it UP

Nice, but west of Steambot-Vail-Aspen leaves..... Glenwood Springs.

But overall things things are looking .

We have to have at least 12 on the ground here in P.C. Some had soon, it will be. Thank you Ullr.

Telephil:

I'll head up, but I'm planning on watching college football and getting drunk tomorrow afternoon, so I'll need to be back early-ish.

I wanna get on a rail.

Big changes are in store for the SW, Central, and Northern mountains with snow on the way overnight into Saturday. 1-2 feet will be possible for the San Juans above 9000 feet by tomorrow night, with 5-10" for most other mountain locations above 9000 feet. If your plans take you to the high country tomorrow, you will need to exercise your winter driving skills.

Would be there in a heartbeat, but have to take some students out on a trip on Sunday . I'm thinking if they get the max of 10" tonight and some more tomorrow we hit up something off Love pass in the afternoon?? There's some pockets up there that collect all the windloaded fluff, could be interesting.
