I started Saturday off with a trail run in the Foothills of Colorado. The weather here has been incredibly warm and dry the last two weeks.
I thought extensively about the mountain weather forecast for next week. My conclusions:
- 2-3 storm systems possible across the West.
- The first storm system becomes weaker and weaker as it battles this bulletproof area of high pressure.
- The first storm system sacrifices itself and greases the atmospheric skids for potentially a 2nd and 3rd storm system.
- The 3rd storm system could be the main event.
- Snow forecasts will fluctuate wildly until the first storm weakens/dislodges the big high.
- The best skiing might be late-week and weekend.
I recorded an in-depth forecast video. I include a two-part snow forecast so you can see how this might unfold next week.
My favorite backcountry ski area is looking promising!
This is the change we’ve needed! Thanks, Judi.
