Latest Conditions in Steamboat....

Tuesday only netted 3.5" but more snow is forecast in the days ahead so in the meantime we are enjoying a little winter sunshine before the next round of winter arrives.

Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) Reports the following:
"Colorado is under northwest flow today. There is limited moisture in the flow, just enough for some clouds and light, scattered snow the high mountain ranges. Cloud cover will thicken overnight ahead of a little shortwave. By mid-day Friday skies will be mostly cloudy, with light snow spreading to most mountain locations by Friday evening. The shortwave is a gentle lead-in to the weekend’s fury. Saturday is the start of an interesting and intense change in the weather pattern. As of now, the models have a closed low developing over northern British Columbia. The low spends the next week working south along the Pacific coast. That puts Colorado under west and southwest flow with a wave after wave of strong storms."
