TELLURIDE, CO--(Marketwire - Sep 25, 2012) - This winter, the closely watched La Nina and El Nino storms have powder lovers excited for the winter season ahead. La Nina is expected to migrate to a medium El Nino which will bring moisture to the Central Rockies. After one of the driest seasons on record, PowderChasers.com predicts a "return to normal" snowfall in the Southern Rockies with a possibility of slightly higher amounts. The snowfall across the West should be more widespread and perhaps more frequent. Weather watchers, and those at our Telluride resort, are very hopeful about what this snow season may bring.
