6-day Forecast Discussion Updated for Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Our reputation for customized, skier/boarder friendly forecasts is growing but we still need to get the word out.  Please contact your favorite resort and put in a good word for us!

We currently have full customized forecasts for the following states/ regions;

WEST; California, northern Nevada, Utah, Colorado, northern New Mexico, north Idaho, northeast Washington, and northwest Montana. We have long range discussions (very useful) for Western Wyoming, southwest Montana, and southern Idaho!

UPPER MIDWEST; Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin!

NEW ENGLAND; Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine!

We are expanding, and are made up of mostly local forecasters, or forecasters who have a first hand knowledge of the local patterns in the areas we cover. Please let your local resort know, if you would like to see Snowforecast.com covering their mountain!

We are holding some great ski related give aways this winter (like lift tickets to some Colorado, California, New Mexico resorts, weekend lodging + passes, some gear, etc.) - Basically, whatever we can get our ski industry partners to give away! If you want a shot at any of these, please log in to the Snowforecast.com Facebook page, and "like" us. We appreciate your use of the site!  Here is the link to our Facebook page (you need to cut and paste it); http://www.facebook.com/snowforecast.com

Long range forecast / discussion...February 04 to 07

--Light snow showers may start falling in valley areas by next Tuesday and Wednesday as stronger storms move through the inland Northwest US, and drop toward the southeast. These will not be block buster storms on their expected track, with most west to east forcing dampened by a southward trajectory. The weather in the last half of February looks colder and more unsettled, with some snow expected in the valleys and mountains on an occasional basis.

We are experiencing a moderate La Nina SST pattern that is expected to peak in strength this month, then weaken afterward and into summer 2012. The winter weather pattern is expected to deliver near to above average snowfall across the region. CM
