[glademaster]

Well, how are the short range and 10 day weather maps for Utah looking? Any cold air moving in, or any big storms, or preferably both?

This forecast is for Brian Head and yeah its only Brian Head and not Alta but they are expecting up to 39 inches by Sat which also is their opening day
If no storms are lined up for the SLC area I will be making the Southern trek

I predict rain in the valley
snow in the mountains

1" of rain scattered

6-12" snow

I really dont know however

I dont want to predict more for fear of a going to the dark side

It's unfortunate that Brianhead is getting so much snow. Anymore than 12-18 inches and it's not steep enough to go.
