Calm, Cool, and Collected

 TL;DR: 

Its cold and clear today with now snow in the next few days, but there might be something coming early next week. 

Nowcast:

It is very cold but sunny today. Alta is reporting around 2 F at the base. Its mostly sunny so the sun should help with keeping you warm, but don't count on it. Winds are light at around 2-5 mph so wind chill wont have a super strong effect. 


Short term:

It will remain clear and cold for the remainder of the week. An area of high pressure is moving over us until the end of week. There wont be an new snow this week so prepare to ski some hard pack and some possible ice on the groomers. The cold temps should keep some powder around is areas that dont get as much sun, but you will have to look for it.

High pressure moving in from the west

Little moisture in the upper atmosphere, maybe a few clouds on Wednesday

Long term:
This week will be a bust for snow, but early next week is looking promising. Late Sunday and into Monday Should provide us with the right amount of moisture and vorticity to give us more snow. Its hard to say at this point how much snow the mountains will get, but it should be a good amount.
