Snow conditions

Thanks to over four feet of early-season snow, our snowpack is 125% of average and the natural snow depth is about 18 inches on the upper part of the mountain.

Opening Day

Lifts will begin to spin on Wednesday, November 21st! More details.

Thursday recap

It was sunny and dry with a high around 30-40F across the mountain.

Friday

The final dry and sunny day with temperatures warming into the mid-to-upper 30s and low 40s. Overnight lows and dry air will continue to offer conditions that are great for snowmaking.

Snow on Saturday evening

This storm is looking a bit stronger, so the forecast is now for higher totals in the 3-6 inch range. Expect snow starting on Saturday midday and ending before sunrise on Sunday.

Thanksgiving week

We will have dry weather on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then a more active weather pattern should move into the western US with the first storm hitting Colorado sometime between Thanksgiving Day and Monday, November 26th. I still cannot pin down any additional details, so we’ll keep the forecast broad for now and fine tune over time.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
