Been snowing most of the morning, and I just looked out side and it is hammering. Prettying big flakes and coming down hard.

**montanaskier** · 12-21-2007, 02:53 PM

4 thur the day yesterday in V. Didn't snow at all last night, but around 7am it started hammering. It is now 2pm and it looks pretty much done, a few flurries. I would guess we picked up another 4" or so.

**jon turner** · 12-21-2007, 06:11 PM

Yeah, it only ended up being a few inches up here when it stopped.

**montanaskier** · 12-21-2007, 06:42 PM

snow advisory extended thru midnight. Hopefully it will start back up tonight and tomorrow will hold some fresh lines. Beaver Creek or touring on Vail Pass for Sunday. Another good weekend in store, days 15 and 16. I officially love living in the mtns.

**skiHOG** · 12-21-2007, 07:04 PM

steamboat is doing quite well now. could be spending new year's there if it keeps up.

**montanaskier** · 12-23-2007, 03:56 PM

Nice little swipes of snow we are getting right now. Snowed all day at V today. Was really not crowded at all. Threw our selves off lots of stuff today, tomorrow I will be sore.

Looks like more of these small "refresher" storms thru the end of the year. WooooHoooo!!!

**smmokan** · 12-23-2007, 04:25 PM

Supposed to get progressively larger this week.... I've got my fingers crossed.

**Rontele** · 12-24-2007, 09:50 AM

While there is no single shortwave to point your finger at this week, we'll have a good period of WNW orographic flow through the new year. Snow totals should be decent.

WOW!!!! If that was just 6 inches then I complain about the weather......wait.....nevermind. Alot deeper than the 6 reported up at V today. Not crowded at all and still fresh lines at 3pm. Great little storm, amazing day. Everything was soft and filled in great. Looks like another 3-6 Wednesday night and maybe a big one on the weekend? What a great December, lets hope it doesn't stop!!!!

It hasn't even started yet! Do you not read the forecast discussions?

**montanaskier** · 12-27-2007, 09:16 AM

i most certainly do read them, like a rabid wolverine. That makes no sense, but you know what I mean. Looks like to me it was going to be mainly an upslope event for the FR. The 6-12 which was predicted just doesn't look like a reality is all. We shall see, being proved wrong about snow totals is fine with me.
