Forecast

The mountain is open through May 11th, so the season is not over!

A slow-moving storm will bring snow showers to Copper from Monday through Wednesday.

  • Monday will be drier in the morning, then a wave of snow showers will move through on Monday afternoon and evening. This wave should deliver 1-3 inches of accumulation.

  • Tuesday could start with some fresh snow (from Monday night), then snow showers should return from midday Tuesday through Tuesday night. Accumulations should be in the 1-3 inch range, though a lot more snow should accumulate just east of the mountain, and there's a chance that accumulations will be higher if a wind from the east pushes some of this snow to 'spill over' toward Copper.

  • Wednesday morning may have soft-ish conditions due to snowfall on previous days plus the additional 1-3+ inches of snow on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.

  • Thursday through Sunday, May 11 (closing day), should offer typical spring conditions with highs in the 40s and afternoon showers possible each day.
