It was a rowdy weekend for skiers and snowboarders across the country, with tons of snow falling on many of our favorite resorts and lots of brutally cold air settling in across the country. But last weekend is over, and though I’ll never get those six hours of sitting in traffic while trying desperately to make it out of the mountains back, it’s time we look towards the future. From the great website of YouTube comes the favorite meteorologist of many skiers and snowboarders, Chris Tomer, with a mountain weather update heading into the weekend.
Meteorologist Chris Tomer has spent the past 20 years forecasting mountain weather for skiers and climbers. Tomer combines his experience and knowledge in weather forecasting with his love for the outdoors, providing some of the best mountain weather forecasts for those hoping to plan around the weather for upcoming outdoor activities. You can find daily weather updates on both his YouTube channel and his blog.
Looks like our neighbors up north might be the biggest winners throughout the coming week, but nobody is really forecasted to see a slamming. Light dustings along the rockies are expected, with heavier snowfall along the Pacific Coast. No Colorado mountains are expected to get more than a foot, but the snow will be there in limited quantities. East Coasters will be happy to see that a bit of snowfall, ranging up to ten inches, could grace their slopes.
Compared to last weekend, things feel pretty light. Compared to earlier this winter, things feel pretty great. It’s not going to be a big week, but at least it feels like winter.
“Sierra snow inbound late 1/19-1/22 above 7500′, UT light to moderate snow PM 1/20-1/22, Teton light snow 1/20-1/21, CO light snow 1/21-1/22.“
