Winter Storm Watch

This week looks to be bringing in some promising snow. NWS is claiming 6-12 inches for the Twin Cities area on Tuesday through Wednesday. Parts further south of the cities, in northern Iowa and southern Wisconsin, have a “blizzard” warning. The forecast is hard to determine since it will gather a good amount of moisture as it moves towards us. We have a 100% chance of getting accumulating snow, it’s just hard to know how much.

Look for more runs opening throughout the week at resorts.

Make sure to pray to the snow gods for that blizzard line to move further north into Minnesota!

1st big weekend for local resorts.

Finally, the Twin Cities area has had some decent enough weather (and even a little natural snow) for local resorts to make some white stuff. This weekend seems to be “the weekend” for local resorts such as Afton, Welch and Buck Hill to open, and a lot of people are excited. This weekend will be many rider’s first time out this season.

Other resorts that have been open, like Wild and Trollhaugen, will have more runs opening. A couple of the rideMinnesota guys are headed to late night Trollhaugen tonight for their 10pm to 3am session for $15.
