Everyone is forcasting feet...so based on previous forecasts you should expect see whatever number is forecasted for each area divided by ten.

its an up-slope storm meaning the foothills and underlying areas are gonna get it in the ass. But west of the divide won't likely see as much. We can hope they're wrong though.

Although the drive will SUCK!!

Pow skiing at ECHO!! haha.

70 got closed down east of denver.. which means 70 up to the mountains is still good to go.. if you're looking for the most snow from this storm winterpark would be your best bet, they got 21" .. but as of right now (7:21 am) berthoud pass is closed still.. im just waiting for the minute its open and im flying up there

I drove over West I-70 like 10 hours ago, it is all open and fine. Vail and Summit county got at most 6", sweet, another epic summit county storm.

if anyone is flying out of DIA, get there EARLY. i just flew out of there last night and the security line started at the baggage claim area, and it took about 1.5-2 hours to get through. i would say get there at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time unless things have changed.

yah i didnt hear of anyone not being able to get to vail.. the most any resort got was 24" at winterpark.. and that decreased down to about 6-12" at breck/keystone.. i have a hard time imagining people couldn't get through at vail on 70 W..
