Looking ahead, a promising storm system is on the horizon with 12.35 inches of snow forecast over the next 72 hours. Even more snow (up to 12 inches) is expected in the 5-day outlook, signaling the potential for vastly improved conditions later this week.

It’s worth hitting the slopes now—and keeping your eye on the sky for a powder refresh.
