Terrain Update
100% open. Latest updates.
Wednesday
Periods of light to moderate snowfall will be the story through Wednesday as our first of three storms take aim for Colorado through early next week. This first system has a firehose of moisture but the wind direction is not ideal for Breckenridge until it turns to more of a westerly flow by midday. In total, look for 2-4 inches in Thursday morning's report.
Thursday
Snow will likely linger on Wednesday night and into Thursday as we await the arrival of storm #2 on Thursday night. Expect temperatures in the 20s under mostly cloudy skies.
Thursday Night - Friday Night
The second and stronger storm will slam into Colorado on Thursday night. We'll then be looking for our turn on Friday and into Friday night as much colder temperatures arrive and west to northwest winds stream overhead.
In total, we can expect 4-8 inches from Thursday night through Friday night, with double-digit totals not out of the question. This would give us the softest turns on Friday (storm skiing) and again on Saturday morning.
Saturday - Sunday
There could be a few leftover showers on Saturday morning but we should be in for a dry and beautiful weekend. Expect partly sunny skies each day and temperatures in the 20s by Sunday.
Next Week
After another dry day on Monday, we'll be watching for storm #3 on Tuesday, January 22nd. This system will dive down from the northwest and should deliver another refresh of light to moderate snowfall. We could then see continued snow later next week as we sit right on the edge of the main storm track.
As always, keep an eye on our 1-10 day forecast for Breckenridge and right here for the latest updates.
