For most of us, it is back to work today, but for you lucky few that can ride there is some good wind today and tomorrow.

Today the best bet looks like Skyline with winds in the upper teens/low twenties. Wind will be gusty with light snow squalls. Possible spoiler is if snow is greater than the 1 inch in the forecast.

Strawberry - SW winds do not favor Strawberry, but you can find rides there if you are willing to hunt around a bit.

PowMow - looks like a whiteout. Monte Cristo should be rideable. I would appreciate a latitude/longitude position for Monte to help me forecast that spot a little better.

Park City may give up some rides, but it may also be a total blizzard, same is true for Evanston.

It is already blowing hard in the south end of the valley, so if you can find coverage, there should be wind at least during the AM.

Rush should have light winds and decent snow coverage.

Avalanche danger is still high, so it is wise to stay out of the backcountry today.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a good day at Strawberry, but may not be bluebird skies. Skyline should also be good.

This is where I park, kind of a wind hole but once you get up out of it things get better. Small kite at powder mt.=big kite at Monte except the terrain is alot better at Monte, hills and stuff to jump off. I try to go to Monte over Powder Mt. but the wind is better at Powder.
