Focus on UT & CO: Snow forecast through New Year’s

Tomer’s Take

  • The key timeframe is 12/23-1/1 for this major storm cycle.
  • 3-5 different storm systems are lined-up for CA, UT, ID, MT, WY, and CO.
  • Widespread grand totals by 1/1 measured in feet for the Sierra, Tetons, Wasatch, and Western Slope ski areas of Colorado.
  • Major avalanche cycle for the backcountry.
  • Wolf Creek, CO appears to have the biggest potential with 70 inches (100″ not out of the question with proper T/W profile).
  • Alta, UT, Silverton, CO, and Crested Butte, CO are not far behind.

For this update, let’s drill down to Utah/Colorado region. Here are my grand totals through 1/1/2022.
