"From Thursday through Friday night, guidance is converging on timing, with snowfall peaking Thursday afternoon through overnight and then tapering to lighter showers into Saturday morning. Intensity spread is still present but notably smaller than later periods, keeping the most consistent in-window snowfall over Big Sky, Bridger Bowl, and Grand Targhee in the 10″-17″ range, while much of Idaho trends near 0″-2″."
"While snow is falling, most solutions keep snow levels around 3,000 to 5,000 feet. Snow quality should be mostly moderate to fairly light with SLRs near 10-16, with occasional denser bursts around SLR 8-10. Wind remains a major ski-impact variable through Friday, with frequent gusts in the 35-55 mph range on exposed ridges and passes."
"Saturday and Sunday look like a relative reset, and guidance is tightly clustered on weaker snowfall intensity, warmer daytime conditions, and continued west to northwest wind. New accumulation should be limited at most resorts, generally around 0″-2″ in favored high terrain with longer dry breaks elsewhere."
A strong weather system brings significant snowfall to southwest Montana and the Tetons from Thursday through Friday night, with peak intensity Thursday afternoon into overnight. Higher terrain in western Wyoming and southwest Montana receives 10-17 inches, while Idaho areas receive lighter amounts of 0-2 inches with wind effects. Snow levels remain around 3,000-5,000 feet with moderate to light snow quality and SLRs near 10-16. Wind gusts of 35-55 mph impact exposed ridges. Saturday and Sunday feature a quieter pattern with limited new accumulation of 0-2 inches, warmer daytime temperatures, and continued west to northwest winds. Another storm system threatens early next week.
