"Snow is ongoing Tuesday morning and should continue in pulses into Tuesday evening, with snow levels generally around 6,500-8,000 feet while it is snowing, so most ski terrain stays all snow. Totals from this first period remain modest at most areas, with many mountains landing around 1″-3″ and favored northern and central spots closer to 3″-6″."
"Late Thursday night through Saturday morning, the individual models converge on storm timing and colder air but diverge on snowfall intensity, keeping confidence moderate on exact totals and highest confidence on a widespread refresh. Snow levels fall while precipitation is active, generally around 3,500-6,000 feet."
"Most open resorts should pick up a measurable reset, with the strongest in-window totals clustering in north-central terrain around 6″-11″ and lighter southern totals closer to 1″-5″. After Saturday, confidence drops quickly: there is still a signal for another colder storm next week, but guidance spread is large enough that expectations should stay conservative for now."
Colorado ski resorts face two distinct snowfall periods through Saturday. The first wave, ongoing through Tuesday evening, brings modest accumulations of 1-3 inches at most areas, with 3-6 inches in favored northern and central locations. Snow levels remain around 6,500-8,000 feet, keeping terrain all-snow. Dense to moderate snow quality is expected with snow-to-liquid ratios around 10-13. A drier, milder break follows Wednesday through Thursday with temperatures in the 20s-30s and winds 25-40 mph, creating favorable grooming conditions. A stronger, colder storm arrives late Thursday through Saturday morning with broader mountain coverage, dropping snow levels to 3,500-6,000 feet. North-central mountains should see 6-11 inches while southern areas receive 1-5 inches. Beyond Saturday, confidence decreases regarding potential storms next week.
