Last season we were supposed to go to Jackson Hole over the holidays but ended up canceling due to snow conditions. We went to Alyeska and had a great trip. This year being "safer" we booked Snowbird figuring it was more reliable. Well, situation doesn't look great. We live in LA so we could give up 2 nights as a penalty and cancel with the idea being to just drive up to Mammoth. We'd be going 12/27-1/1. I need to make the call to cancel by the 13th. Normally I'd consider just canceling and going to Hawaii but we have a beach trip planned for spring break so we want to get the kids on the snow for sure.

Thoughts?

Mammoth is due more snow than Utah is. No brainer.

You're comfortable with weather forecasts 16 days out?

Well that's interesting.
I don't know North American weather. I am relatively familiar with weather on our big island continent though. Forecasts here in winter are relatively reliable. If there is no precipitation in the 10 day forecast it is extremely unlikely that rainfall will 'pop up' within that time frame. In summer that isn't the case. We can get have thunderstorm conducive conditions form within a couple of days.
You're obviously suggesting that winter storms can form within the 10/14 day forecast window in US/Canada?
