It looks like it could be a good one :) They are now predicting 10-20 inches up from 7-15 inches this morning. All of that wind should perfectly place large amounts of powder in the trees for an epic opening day so let's hope it goes according to plan. Hopefully we will have plenty of snow to give thanks for at Thanksgiving in addition to family, friends and living or visiting Steamboat Springs.
UPDATE: We got about 6 inches from the first wave that came through Monday. This next section is from the avalanche forecast with what we can expect tonight and Tuesday followed by the original forecast. Looks like a nice storm (I love how Steamboat shows more snow than the other areas and how often this is true)
Tuesday update: we got nine inches on the mountain as of this morning and the next wave is working on adding to that. It was heavy snow last night that packed everything down so this is effectively more than it sounds like and will lay down a dense base to build on from here.
