Tomer’s Take New snow is being reported this morning across the Tetons and Wasatch. This cold front races through Colorado today with 2-6 inches of accumulation. The next cold front hits MT, WY, CO, NM between 1/24-1/25. Infrared satellite shows the storm track. These cold fronts hitting MT, ID, WY, UT, CO, NM are piercing […]
Tomer’ Take Two cold fronts pierce the eastern periphery of the western high pressure ridge through 1/25 favoring MT, ID, WY, UT, CO, NM. The overall pattern appears to flip by early February with lower atmospheric pressures and a dipping jet stream across the West. This would suggest a shift to a more active, colder […]
Tomer’s Take Cold front races north to south through MT, WY, UT, CO, and NM between Thursday-Friday-Saturday morning with light to moderate snow accumulation. Another cold front possible 1/24-1/25. The Northeast stays cold with light snow chances and lake-effect snow. A larger storm system stays far enough off the coast to miss the big ski […]
Tomer’s Take First front is minor and hits ID, MT, WY, and CO between 1/18-1/19. Second front has more moisture and hits ID, MT, WY, UT, CO and NM between 1/20-1/21. Moderate snow accumulation in the Wasatch, Tetons, and Central & Northern Mountains of Colorado. Third front is packing colder air and hits MT, WY, […]
Tomer’s Take Primary storm track favors the Northeast with numerous storm systems, Alberta Clippers, lake effect, and cold temperatures. Western high pressure remains in place with occasional cold fronts sneaking through the periphery running through ID, MT, WY, CO and UT. This is in-line with a peaking La Nina pattern. When will a larger pattern […]
Tomer’s Take The atmospheric pattern through the end of January favors the Northeast for cold and snow. The West continues to be dominated by high pressure. Minor amounts of snow will hit British Columbia and Montana. When will this change? The high could stay locked-in through the end of January with only minor cold fronts […]
Tomer’s Take The West is largely dominated by high pressure. A few small cold fronts will sneak through the eastern periphery through 1/23 with minor snow accumulation in MT, WY, UT, and CO. Ski the Northeast this Sunday-Monday with a Nor` Easter on tap. When will this pattern change for the Intermountain West? It could […]
Highlights New beacon technology installed on select Flight for Life helicopters can now be used to locate missing people wearing avalanche transceivers. “This technology is another tool in our toolbox,” says Dale Atkins of Alpine Rescue Team. The helicopter beacon can detect any avalanche transceiver on the market today (at 457kHz). Alpine Rescue Team, Loveland […]
My good friend Ryan Kushner sent me this outstanding sunrise video from Monday morning on the 14,265′ summit of Quandary Peak, CO. I’ve climbed mountains with Ryan for 16 years. He’s climbed all over the world including G2, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Denali, and South America. I’m sure Ryan has something big planned soon! Tomer’s Take A […]
Tomer’s Take A weak to moderate intensity atmospheric river continues in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia through 1/13 then ends. I’m forecasting zero snowfall in CA and UT through 1/20. Large high pressure dome dominates the West and Intermountain West through 1/20 with a couple minor fronts. Waiting game: when will the high pressure […]
