    Copper and Breck are looking really good. Really warm and windy so the flakes are tiny. Takes alot of flakes to accumulate when they are this small. BC opens Stone Creek and Royal Elk tomorrow....and Arrowhead.

    20 years in the CO high country and today was the burliest driving I've even encountered. Monarch pass and Hoosier were straight up gnarly. Ended up looking down out of my side window and following the yellow line a few times. Tomorrow should be sick many places, wind or not.

    Gusts just under 100mph Loveland & Berthoud Passes. Sustained winds of 55mph at A-Basin weather station.

    Just made it to Frisco after getting delayed and delayed on getting up to my hotel. Easily in my top two scariest driving experiences ever. Lights were going out in the tunnel and coming out of the western side was the fucking gnarliest driving I've ever done. Visibility was damn near zero and watching a jeep with California plates almost hit every single fucking car and truck on the road was an experience.

    Glad I made it and tomorrow is going to be a good day.

    Edit: Sister took a video of the lights going out. Crazy stuff.

    Windy as hell. Snow totals are going to be a guesstimate (is my guess) because there is no way that a snowstake would have been able to hold up against the powerful wind from last night.

    Beav reporting 9", but their snowcam is showing a foot.

    It's going to be 3 feet deep in some areas!

    debating Abasin or BC - figuring wind will be the key factor today.

    Copper will have some great stuff. I was on boot pack crew again yesterday and there were very high winds at the top of Union Peak (which is closed) with very low vis for most of the day. There was a lot of deep dust on crust areas yesterday but should be less of an issue today.

    All of these reports are wind affected.

    There's another snowstake at Vail Mtn that's showing 21"...........

    Hilarious. Studded snows all the way around with 4x4 engaged.

    There was definitely 19" if not more at the basin. Bottomless, hudge wind drifts in spots like massive waves. So fun.

    It was damn good today. Some weird hooky wind affected snow on open W-faces but protected stuff in the trees was $$$$. In fact just about everything I have skied in the past 4 days has been extremely good.

    This storm was great for coverage, we are pretty much in mid-season form now.
