Powder Weekend

Tomer’s Take: Jackson Hole got blasted by 30 inches in the last 24 hours and another foot or more is on the way. This heavy band of snow hits the Wasatch between Lunch today and the morning of 3/3, and then Colorado tonight through 3/3. 50-80mph wind gusts are likely in CA/UT/WY/CO next 48 hours. Another storm system hits the West 3/5-3/8.
