Early word for the week of Dec. 16, 2024

How’s the skiing?

Can’t beat couple of bluebird ski days on the weekend. Enjoy another day of skiing for now, but be careful on the drive if you head out in the early morning.

Tonight and into Monday morning, there may be some snow or freezing rain in the souther and coastal regions, presenting a potential for slippery road conditions early Monday.

While northern and inland areas will likely see some snow showers, precipitation will change over to rain by Tuesday. Touring centers could close trails during the midweek to preserve the remaining snowpack.

Daytime temperatures will be trending upward through to the midweek, but going into the weekend, temperatures fall, and some small systems could set up to bring snow! Stay tuned.
