Looks like winter is here to stay in the San Juans! A powerful winter storm is set to impact the area starting this Saturday through the middle of next week. 2 + feet of snow is expected for the Southern and Northern San Juans, and the storm is tracking on SW flow. Hopefully this pattern continues as it did during the winter of 2007-2008 during which we experienced a strong La Nina weather pattern, but due to the positioning of the San Juans we received one of our best snow year’s on record.
Here’s the link for the full special weather statement by the National Weather Service out of Grand Junction.
Remember, early season snow generally means less stable snow conditions throughout the winter. If you haven’t already taken an avalanche course then now is the perfect time to sign up for one of our AIARE Certified Level 1 or Level 2 Avalanche Courses. New this year we are also featuring a 4 day Level 1 Comprehensive Course. Click on the links to find out more and don’t hesitate to give us a call with any questions. Don’t forget that we offer online registration for these courses! See you this winter.
