All road surfaces from Vail through the foothills west of Denver are under a wet and icy mix on Friday morning, with snow-packed conditions along Berthoud, Loveland, and Vail Pass. Icy conditions will continue through Friday before all road surfaces become mostly clear and dry on Saturday. 

Sunny skies and temperatures in the high teens to low 20s will be the forecast for Friday. The groomers will be in fantastic shape so get out there if you can!

Mild temperatures and sunny skies continue for the weekend. Temperatures will rise into the low 30s each day, with overnight lows dropping back into the teens on Saturday and Sunday night.

Mild and dry weather remains in place through at least next Friday, December 15th. Mostly sunny skies will take hold each day, with daytime highs reaching into the 30s.

There will be no travel concerns from Saturday, December 9th through Sunday, December 16th.

Looking further ahead, there is now a system showing up between December 16th and 18th. Confidence is then rising in regards to additional storms after December 20th. Yes, it will be dry next week but storms are on the horizon for the second half of December. 

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
