November has been mild in terms of natural snowfall in Summit County. With only a few snow storms moving through the area, snow coverage has remained scarce in the backcountry with ski areas relying heavily on blown.
On a phone call with a colleague from Austria in late October, my friend was cruising the autobahn south of Salzburg through the Ennstal valley remarking about the 10 cm of new snow that had fallen on the peaks. That’s what we do as skiers! We look at every single inch this time of year. And give us an inch in October and we’ll make it sound like nearly a foot in November!
Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday, along with rain, then snow, according to the National Weather Service, starting Monday night and possibly continuing Wednesday morning before moving on.
According to reports, the Western U.S. will see a rather large snowstorm to end October, bringing with it light, dry powder. Between 12-25 inches to be exact.
