Terrain is limited to five trails and we could use a lot of snow to open up more terrain! So where is the snow?

Well, I am tracking three potential storms during the next 10 days, and while none of these storms are likely to deliver significant snowfall, we'll take any flakes that we can get.

Thursday will deliver some flakes. The upper mountain view shows no snow falling as of 6:30 a.m., though there are more clouds and showers on the horizon, and we should be able to sneak out low-end accumulations (a coating to a few inches) during the day. Temperatures will be warm yet the mountain's high elevation should keep the precipitation falling as all snow. Winds will be gusty as the storm moves through.

Friday could start out with just a bit of softer snow from the snow showers that fell on Thursday and Thursday night. Otherwise, Friday's weather will be dry with a high temperature in the 30s.

Saturday will be a mixed day with some sunshine, some clouds, and maybe snow showers later in the day or in the evening. The high temperature will be in the 30s.

Sunday into Monday will bring a storm and colder temperatures. I think snowfall will be in the 3-6 inch range. The storm should be decently strong, but all factors will likely not align to deliver deeper snow totals. Snow should be in the air during the day on Sunday, on Sunday night, and through Monday midday, and temperatures will cool into the 20s on Sunday and likely into the teens on Monday. There might be enough new snow for a bit of powder on Sunday and Monday.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will revert back to dry weather with high temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Then sometime between Friday, November 24 to Sunday, November 26, the next storm should bring more snow to the northern mountains of Colorado. Since this system will arrive from the north, it could be moisture-starved, but it's still 7+ days away, so we should wait a few days before talking about more details since the forecast will shift around at least a little bit.

Thanks for reading!
