00:00 Well, if you are looking to ski across the southwest,

00:03 this new snow is very beneficial.

00:05 So just as they were talking about snowpack building,

00:08 and let me just show you some of the numbers coming in

00:11 with our ski reports.

00:12 In places like Mammoth, we now have a base of 115 at least,

00:16 and yeah, talking about 67 trails open.

00:20 So that's kind of the range that we have there.

00:22 A lot of places throughout the west

00:23 are now dealing with bases that are more than three feet.

00:26 So that's some good news.

00:27 Snow's still coming down many,

00:28 but Palisades Tahoe clearing out,

00:30 I think as we go throughout tomorrow.

00:31 So some better news there.

00:33 Let's take you to Beaver Creek, an interesting site,

00:36 because yes, we are talking about

00:38 still some more snow to come,

00:40 even at the base, possibly an inch.

00:42 Most of that coming in the morning on Friday

00:44 as the storm system throughout the southwest

00:46 finally pushes out into the plains.

00:48 So that's gonna be the changes that we have occurring

00:50 there in Beaver Creek.

00:51 We'll take you though to Mammoth here.

00:55 How about that?

00:56 They are quieting down.

00:57 So after all the snowfall,

00:59 we are gonna stay in the 30s.

01:00 We are going to see more sunshine return for Saturday,

01:03 a gorgeous day to get out and enjoy all the new snow there

01:06 as we head through the weekend.

01:07 And we'll go into the east,

01:09 and we've got, no surprise, mild weather here.

01:12 But the problem is it comes in the weekend

01:15 in the form of rain.

01:16 We're gonna be talking about the wet weather Saturday

01:18 in a place like Montage,

01:20 which is in southeastern Pennsylvania,

01:22 or eastern Pennsylvania, I should say.

01:23 And for Sugarloaf, Maine,

01:25 always a fun spot to head to.

01:27 We will have more wet weather heading into the weekend.

01:30 So try to get out early if you're on the east coast.

01:33 And you might have to wait until next week otherwise.
