"Expect several inches of high quality, low density snow at most open mountains, deepest across the central and southern ranges, while Telluride, still closed until December 6, quietly stacks an early season base and Monarch steps into its December 2 opening with fresh coverage. Snow levels start around 5,500 to 6,000 feet before dropping well below the resort bases, temperatures stay in the teens and single digits at elevation, and winds are generally manageable aside from a few gustier peaks."
"Tuesday-Wednesday brings the first widespread early December powder shot to nearly every Colorado resort, starting light on Tuesday then ramping up Tuesday night. Light snow develops in the northern mountains early Tuesday and gradually spreads south and east into the central and southern ranges during the day, leaving a soft coating at open areas like Steamboat, Winter Park, Vail, Beaver Creek, Snowmass, Crested Butte, Loveland, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge and Wolf Creek by sunset."
A cold midweek storm will produce light to occasionally moderate powder across nearly every Colorado resort from Tuesday through Thursday, peaking late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Several inches of high-quality, low-density snow are expected at most open mountains, with the deepest amounts across the central and southern ranges. Telluride is building an early-season base and Monarch will open December 2 with fresh coverage. Snow levels begin near 5,500–6,000 feet then fall below resort bases, and temperatures will be in the teens and single digits at elevation. Winds are mostly manageable. Northwest-flow snow showers are likely next weekend for northern and central mountains, while the early-to-mid December pattern favors slightly warmer-than-normal temperatures and more modest, spaced refreshers rather than large, cold dumpers.
