Many ski areas are now closed to uphill travel in order to prepare for winter operations. Resort uphill travel policies can be found HERE.

Mill Creek Canyon Road will be closed November 8-10th for road work.

I don't know if "record setting" is accurate or not, but the snow and water amounts are impressive, and more is falling. In the last 24 hours the snowpack has more than doubled and most places have received dense, heavy snow containing 2 to 3.8 inches of water. Snow amounts vary a lot because temperatures have been hovering near freezing; however, above 9000 ft there is about 2 ft of new snow. Much of that fell between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

Winds over the last 2 days have been ripping from the south. Overnight they were averaging 20-30 mph and gusting 40-50 mph.

Today, snow will continue falling with the heaviest snowfall this morning. Some dry air moving into the area this afternoon should pause snowfall, and then light snow will fall tonight. Temperatures started cooling some early this morning and range from the low to upper 20s F today. Tonight temperatures will drop into the single digits F or colder. Winds will be shifting direction and blowing from the southwest and west today. While they won't be as strong as they have been, they will still average 10-20 mph and continue to drift snow.
