Welcome to the 2019-2020 season!

Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, November 8th!

During the month of October, Copper reported 36 inches of snow, and our snowpack is now sitting at 271% of average. This is a great start to the season, though the first half of November does look pretty dry.

Leading up to opening day, this week will be generally sunny with low temperatures in the 20s and comfortable high temperatures in the 30s. These readings should allow mountain crews to make snow at night, and there won’t be much melting during the day due to the low sun angle.

I see a chance for a few snowflakes on Thursday, November 7 and again around Sunday-Monday, November 10-11 as weak storms sideswipe northern Colorado.

The latest models then show a chance for a more significant storm around Thursday, November 14, so I am keeping my eye on that system as we always need something to look forward to.

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