I tweeted about this storm a few days ago.  I wrote then :@FISWX I’m sniffing out ANOTHER storm for the wknd. Track issues but confidence is up that strip of 8-10 possible thru NY and VT sat to sun.” While …

I know it has been a tough month for LCC.  A sloppy rainy once in 30 year storm over MLK day turned parts of LCC into the Adirondacks.  And since there isn’t an edge grinder within 900 miles of Alta, …

No need to beat around the bush on this one.  Another powerful storm is aimed straight at the heart of the Northeast and it’s locked and loaded to deliver some serious moisture into ski country.
WED. AM UPDATE
Looks like the storm …

The forecast temperature for the coldest part of this cold snap is “negative freezing.” I don’t just say that tongue and cheek either. Negative freezing is a technical term. It’s freezing (32F) but negative (-32F). That’s cold! What can one …

1/18/11 5:30 AM UPDATE:
Moist system is blooming very nicely off the NJ coast.

As it grows and deepens significantly over the next 12 hours it will continue to spread significant moisture northwards into the Southern Tier of NY, Mass and Southern …

Today was one of those sleeper days… just deeper.

Currently a weak shortwave is moving through PA pushing a blob of light to moderate snows through the eastern half of the state.  Further to the north light snows are breaking out across NY State. You can clearly see the …

Update: Totals
Looks like the event unfolded pretty much as I expected- though HIGHLY variable- with the Bush came out as the winner. Reported totals up and down the spine are as follows:
Buying lift tickets for a trip you just planned …

Any purveyor of powder skiing knows the key to light fluffy powder is the dry brewing process.  Dry brewing happens via a gamut of different techniques, but one element is always the same – temperature.  The lower the better.  Utah …

I love powder snow

I ski it all the time

I ski it before breakfast
and I ski it after lunch

If I had 100 powder runs

I’d ski them all at once

What at storm!  ULLR unleashed his love across the entirety of Northern Utah. …

After the insane deepness of VTAH 5 a few weeks ago, I left the east coast and flew to Utah. Since then I’ve been bouncing around between Alta, Park City, and SLC and skiing every day. Over 100 inches of …

From Wednesday morning through at least Thursday night, a cold pacific storm will drop down from the West/Northwest through the wasatch range.  During this time the Wasatch will see heavy snowfall both as the front passes and in the wake of …

To facilitate discussion of this potential I-95 mauler I have started a new thread.  The old forecast discussion/trend following thread can be found here.  I would strongly consider reading it to understand the context of this storm.
With that said it …

Merry Christmas.  From all of the skiers here at FamousInternetSkiers.com we want to wish you a wonderful, joyous, and schuss-filled Holiday.  We only know one way to spread our Holiday cheer, and that’s by sharing some one of the biggest …

Welcome to winter.  Now let’s get down to business and discuss the possiblity of a strong Christmas Weekend Nor’Easter that could bring widespread snow to the northeast and set up fantastic conditions for the all important holiday week.

Again, moisture retrograding from a coastal low will impact the North Country.  Now, last week I mentioned the possibility of the development of  NORLUN trough delivering moisture to NH and Maine.  Well it looks like this might not develop quite …

TOTALS THROUGH TUESDAY:
I told you FEETS:

As we head into the weekend a storm is will be brew that could bring heavy snowfall to Eastern New England. Then again maybe not. Ok…so when I wrote that first sentence I was betting on the Euro. Why? Because …

After an Epic, amazing, textbook, strangely predictable, super-duper awesome, FKNA! inducing, “magic” upslope snow event which gave us VTAH V, everybody has been asking me “what’s next.” Well sadly what’s next just isn’t going to be as awesome. Yea. Sorry …

WARNING:
To everyone looking for powder in the early season, be safe, and be respectful of what you can do, and what the snow allows you to do. At FIS we firmly believe in letting people do what they …

Lionel got it right a LOOOOOONG time in advance (and kept us updated) on this one. THANK YOU LIONEL! VTah Part 5 is underway!

I’ll get right to the point since I have neither ripped my pants, nor have any witty introductions prepared .
As we speak a large and powerful storm is churning out off the coast of Maine. As I said a week …

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE UPDATE
You know I was all set to discuss how excited I was for the upcoming period and then I ripped a hole right in the seat of my dress pants. Yep. Caught the pants …

…get back in the saddle….

In the latest round of our weekly series entitled “Hey- it snows a lot in the Wasatch” we will feature a long duration event. From Sunday until Tuesday of next week a large western trough will swing into the intermountain …
