Current Conditions: Strong northwest wind over the last 24 hours is today's headline. There were gusts over 70mph on the highest most exposed terrain. The wind was also getting down into the canyons and drainages and stirring up the snow. This will put an end to the powder party we've been having. You'll find quite variable surface snow conditions out there today. Temperatures were in the mid 20s on Wednesday and were in the upper teens overnight. A couple of inches of snow did accumulate from this storm on the northern end of the Skyline.

Mountain Weather: The wind will gradually slow during the day today. Temperatures look like they'll stay in the teens. We should see some sun. Another quick hitting storm moves through tonight that might bring another trace to a few inches of snow. I continue to watch an interesting weather pattern develop for next week. Models are hinting at quite a bit of water coming our way starting around the 28th/29th. This is still quite a way out and things can change and often do but it looks pretty impressive as of now.
