From today's avi advisory:

Light snow continued to fall in many mountain locations overnight, with 1 to 4” inches of additional snow. Storm total are now 1 ½ to 2+ feet in the Cottonwoods, with water totals of 1 to 2”; 10 to 18” in the Ogden area mountains, and about a foot in the Park City and Provo area mountains. The northwesterly winds increased significantly for a while last night, with many stations averaging in the 25 to 40 mph range with gusts into the 70s. Currently, the winds have shifted back to the southwest, and are in the 15 to 25 mph range, with gusts to 60 along the highest ridges. Temperatures are warming, and in the teens to low 20s.

And looks like Snowbird is doing a lot of control work:

Baby Thunder (9 am - 3:45 pm) Closed
Baldy (9 am - 3:30 pm) Closed

Looking at the forecast:

Light snow will continue to fall throughout the day, adding another 6 to 9” to the storm totals. Densities will be slightly higher than yesterday, and the period of heaviest snowfall will be around noon. Winds will remain from the west to southwest for the next 24 hours, and speeds today will be in the 15 to 25 mph range, gusting to 30. The higher terrain will have significantly stronger wind speeds, with averages to 45 mph and gusts to 60. 10,000’ temperatures will slowly warm today.

Strong warming will occur during a break in the storms on Saturday, with 10,000’ temperatures reaching near freezing. The final storm in the series arrives Saturday evening, with strong winds and a period of intense snowfall.

Windy for sure today. Lots of closures, supreme never opened. High traverse opened about 1030 or so. Greeley Hill was deep but a white out.

We started on Wildcat after a delayed opening, crazy busy till at least noon. Morning wasn't great in that a lot of people were in a small area.

Wind buff on the face from Stone crusher to sunspot was great this afternoon, skied till 445.


Oh and the rustler lodge lunch is the best deal in Utah
