Entire Mountain West Forecasted To Score Fresh Snow
Meteorologist Chris Tomer has over 20 years of experience forecasting for over 200 teams climbing and skiing the highest peaks around the world.
Yesterday, his snow forecast predicted snow for the Sierras, Tetons, Wasatch, Colorado, and the Northeast, with an emphasis on the Mountain West. In other words, it's a packed lineup. Watch below.
There is already some snow falling in Utah, but everything tapers off by tomorrow until it starts up again, this time with significant totals.
Light to moderate accumulations are possible today and tomorrow, and then on the 28th, the real snow starts.
On 3/28, a "band of heavy snow" comes through the Wasatch. The pattern continues through California, and everything builds through Colorado through April 2nd when it is finally done.
From 3/31 to 4/4, the big numbers come through for parts of the Tetons and Montana, the Wasatch, and parts of Colorado.
By late in the day on April 4th (the end of this storm pattern), up to 50 inches are predicted to fall in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons.
50 inches is predicted to fall at Alta, and 31 inches for Park City Mountain.
In Montana, over a foot is possible for Big Sky. Almost two feet could fall at Red Lodge, MT.
Two feet is predicted to fall in the Tetons, with 23 inches for Jackson Hole and 24 inches for Grand Targhee.
In California, a couple feet are predicted to fall "from Tahoe down to Mammoth." Looking at the chart, 21 inches are predicted for Heavenly (in South Lake Tahoe), with 22 inches predicted for Mammoth.
The Pacific Northwest will see similar totals, with up to a foot (but probably less) predicted for Timberline and Mount Bachelor.
If you live anywhere in the American West, tune your skis now, because the next week is going to be packed full of great skiing.
