That's about double from the forecast just 12 hours ago.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely sick on Monday or Tuesday.

My dad is in town starting tomorrow and I am off Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, and Wed....

had to learn from someone I suppose

**cmsummit** · 01-25-2008, 02:37 PM

Breck is reporting 4" as of 1pm.

Hopefully, the next system coming Sunday night--> Monday pans out.

**smmokan** · 01-25-2008, 04:45 PM

A-Basin reported 2" this morning, but thanks to the wind it was more like 6" on most of the front side. Nice and creamy, one of the best 2" days I've had in a long time. (enter joke here)

**funkendrenchman** · 01-25-2008, 04:52 PM

The 4" on Ajax skied like 8-10".

Is this a quote from Ms. Smmokan?

**montanaskier** · 01-26-2008, 06:33 AM

The morning update looks like it is going to be a GOOD week.

**smmokan** · 01-27-2008, 10:59 AM

Looks like Wolf Creek should be off the hook on Tuesday.... up to 4 feet expected.

Montanaskier- I'll be up later this week to ski BC and maybe Vail too. If you're around, we should meet up.

**montanaskier** · 01-27-2008, 08:25 PM

The talk was that Monday was going to be good at Vail, as of 7:30 no snow yet. Looks like it is dumping in Aspen so that might be the place to be tomorrow. Come on wind, switch to the NW please....

Tuesday will be better.

**funkendrenchman** · 01-27-2008, 11:21 PM

3" in 4 hours at the Snotel on Indy Pass.

**Rontele** · 01-28-2008, 11:42 AM

storm door is open.

should be a pretty active week/weekend into next week.

It was dumping in Leadville this morning. A little calm right now, but looks to get back to dumping any time now. Indy Pass is supposed to get hit pretty good out of this according to NOAA.

**pappag** · 01-28-2008, 04:33 PM

What's going on in Eagle? Doesn't look promising at all.

I guess Summit's getting some but not enough to take off.

**jon turner** · 01-28-2008, 05:47 PM

Aspen Highlands reported 20 inches last night. Silverton reported 36. Hopefully Eagle/Summit gets the tail end of this. It's snowing outside in Leadville again.

Looks promising outside my office window in Avon. Sideways nuking.

edit - must've just been a squall, looks like it's clearing?

Those reports were storm totals not overnight totals.

**montanaskier** · 01-28-2008, 07:12 PM

skied Vail today with my Dad....wow were those groomers soft

Snowed about an inch over night, when we got to the top of the gondi around 9:30 it was NUKING and the wind was about 60mh. I got super stoked, then it cleared and was pretty much bluebird the rest of the day and the temp at the summit was a toasty 34 degrees.

Did snow like crazy like HomerJay said for about 30 min, now it does appear to be clearing and not snowing at all. Glad A$pen and the San Juans got this one, it definately did not hit Vail. Holding out hope for Wednesday.
