There's a blip on the radar showing for Wednesday afternoon through Thursday across much of the San Juans through the Tusas, extending eastwards across the Sangres with some precipitation possible as far south as the Lincoln National Forest.

This report is from Saturday. 

Thin and sun effected snow below 10k. Bare S facing slopes, and FS roads were mostly drive able with high clearance. Above 10k, good skiing was found on NE faces. A few inches of powder on top of a foot of dense slab.
