Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

A little bit of snow

Summary

We have some fresh snow on Tuesday, a little more is possible on Thursday, then during the middle of next week, we will have a high chance for more snow.

Update

On Tuesday just before sunrise, light snow fell on the mountain. We saw about 1 inch at the mid-mountain snow stake by 600am.

Now on Tuesday at 700am, another 1 inch of snow has accumulated at the mid-mountain snow stake since the official report of 1 inch, and we should see snowflakes in the air through Tuesday midday or afternoon. Some models show just light additional accumulations, which makes sense as the storm's track is not favorable for bigger snow totals, but other models show a period of steadier snow during the late morning and midday and maybe a couple of inches of additional accumulation. Either way, this is not a big storm, but at least a little fluffy powder will be fun to ride on top of groomers and any north-facing, softer areas of the mountain.

On Wednesday, we will see sunny skies with high temperatures in the teens.

On Thursday, we'll see more clouds and there could be a few flurries or snow showers with minimal snow accumulation. Temperatures will be chilly with a high around 10-15°F.

On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we'll enjoy gorgeous weather with mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures that top out in the 20s and low 30s.

Then, during the middle of next week, we have a decent chance of seeing significant snowfall between about Tuesday, February 1, and Friday, February 4. But, when it comes to exactly when we could see the most snow and how much snow could fall, we'll need another few days until having higher confidence in the details of the forecast.

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