Skies are partly cloudy trending clear in the wake of the storm. Storm totals are 4-8" along the Ogden Skyline and up to 14" in the Powder and Monte Cristo area. Northwest flow. Temps are in the single digits with generally light winds from the north. Snow coverage is creeping up with these last couple storms, with snow depths up to 40-50" in the high country.
For today, we'll have mostly sunny skies, light winds and temps in the teens to maybe the low 20s. Riding conditions will be excellent today but I'm afraid we go high and dry for the foreseeable future.
Michael Davis rode out to the Monte Cristo area yesterday and found mostly stable snow. His report can be found HERE.
