Wolf Creek has by far the best updates when there is a big snowstorm. WCSA expects to open today, with delayed openings for lifts.
From the WCSA homepage on Feb. 23:
***The WEST side of Wolf Creek Pass will be closed until CDOT (Colorado Dept. of Transportation) has determined that all avalanche hazards have been mitigated. Check COTrip.org for opening information. The EAST side should open to the ski area after 9am. Wolf Creek Ski Area will also have delayed chairlift openings throughout the day. Check COTrip.org before attempting to drive up either side of the pass. Updates will be posted as conditions change.***)
Wolf Creek has received 13" of Fresh Snow overnight and it is snowing heavily! Our all-natural snow depth is 108" at the midway. Conditions are Powder/Packed Powder with extensive grooming throughout the mountain.

as bad as this winter has been, at least the dacks and NNE will have 10 day totals well over 20 inches if not more by the weekend. West is historic as its been all winter.

I heard four flocks of geese moving tonight. I saw coltsfoot up yesterday. I am in central NY, half an hour from GP. However, my horse is not yet shedding

Area Forecast Discussion
Issued by NWS Burlington, VT
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 347 AM EST Friday...Our next system arrives late Monday night
into Tues associated with elongated double barrel low pres structure
with shear apart 700 to 500mb s/w energy. These systems are always
tricky in terms of placement of highest qpf/snowfall, as many times
best precip splits our cwa either to the north and west associated
with the initial s/w energy/sfc low pres, while secondary maximum
occurs to our south and east associated with developing coastal
system and our cwa is left in a relative minimum. The general idea
of likely to cat pops lifting from southwest to northeast acrs our
cwa on Monday night into Tues looks reasonable associated with
initial surge of mid lvl moisture/lift. Given southeast 850mb winds
of 35 to 45 knots, would expect some downslope shadowing along the
western slopes, which is showing up in the GFS qpf. Also, have
started to note a sharp cutoff in deep moisture lifting quickly from
sw to ne acrs our cwa on Tues aftn/evening associated with potential
dry slot, which wl need to be watched, as ridging builds. Given how
this winter has unfolded my initial thoughts would be mainly an
advisory level type event with maybe low end warning for se upslope
areas of the southern/central Greens. Plenty of time for system to
evolve and become better sampled in the days ahead. I would
anticipate guidance to become better locked on a solution this
weekend, along with the finer details of wind speeds/direction and
potential impacts on precip fields. Otherwise, temps wl run near
normal for early to mid week with highs mid 20s to mid 30s and lows
mainly in the mid teens to mid 20s.
