"WeatherColorado's mountains stay in the game this week with a breezy Monday-Tuesday refresh followed by a colder, higher-quality round Wednesday night through Friday night. The first wave is warm enough to keep snow levels relatively elevated, so the best early totals favor the northern mountains, especially Steamboat, while most other areas pick up lighter, more "maintenance" accumulations with a mix of moderate and improving snow quality."
"Monday-Tuesday (1/5-1/6) brings a warm, windy mountain snow round with the best focus on the northern mountains. Snow levels during this window generally sit in the mid-5,000s to low-7,000s feet, keeping precipitation as snow at the open ski areas while lower terrain stays warmer. Steamboat stands out with the steadiest and most meaningful refresh, totaling 5″-7″ through Tuesday night, while most other open resorts add only a couple inches or less."
Colorado will see two distinct mountain snow rounds this week. Monday-Tuesday delivers a warm, windy refresh concentrated on northern mountains with snow levels commonly in the mid-5,000s to low-7,000s feet and Steamboat expecting the steadiest refresh of about 5–7 inches; most other resorts will gain only a couple inches or less. Snow-to-liquid ratios are lower during daytime then improve overnight, and winds will gust into the 30–40+ mph range at many higher elevations. Wednesday night through Friday night becomes notably colder, snow levels drop to near 900–2,700 feet, and snowfall becomes drier, more consistent, and higher quality across many resorts.
