Tomer’s Take
- Snow continues in southern UT, CO, and NM 3/10 into early 3/11 then drier until 3/13-3/14 when a fast-moving wave of snow delivers 2-8″. That makes 3/14 a powder day.
- The departing storm system from UT, CO, NM will develop into a strong Nor` Easter. Moderate to heavy snow accumulation and strong wind is likely at the major ski areas on 3/12.
- Then the storm track shifts north 3/13-3/16 favoring the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. This is a weak atmospheric river setup. Snow levels could get pushed high.
- A larger storm system could hit California on 3/15 then slide into UT and CO on 3/16-3/17.
21″ in the last 48 hours at Steamboat Ski Resort, CO.
