Wednesday - Saturday

We'll catch a short break from any precip on Wednesday, though gusty winds and increasing cloud coverage will stream overhead by early Wednesday afternoon.

Unsettled weather will then flow into Colorado from Thursday through Saturday. The rain/snow line will hover around 9-10,000 feet so expect a rain/snow mix near the base area at Ajax and onto the lower part of the mountain from anything that does fall. Temps will climb into the 40s each day.

The unsettled weather should then begin to clear out on Saturday night and provide us with dry conditions for closing day on Sunday.

Closing Day

Partly sunny skies and mild temps will be the story on Sunday. Expect temps to climb well into the 40s, along with mostly light winds. A perfect way to cap off the season!
