Yawn. Snow and weather conditions remain pretty boring. One good thing worth mentioning is that we haven't seen super strong wind during this extended period of high pressure. This has left the snow surface conditions in decent shape in many areas providing some ok riding conditions. We have a slight bump in wind speed this morning along the highest elevations. Overnight temperatures were in the low to mid teens.

The northwest wind will continue to blow for a few hours this morning then slow down again. We'll see mostly clear skies with temperatures around 20˚F. More sun and milder temperatures move through the weekend. It looks like we'll have a chance for some small storms to move through next week although as of right now nothing looks overly impressive.
