Thursday will be another sunny day, just like Wednesday. Remember to apply the sunblock! Friday should see a mix of sun early with more clouds later in the day, then a quick and weak storm will bring snow showers to Copper on Friday night into Saturday morning. Snow accumulations should be anywhere from a dusting to 2-3 inches if we're lucky, so Saturday morning won't be a powder day, but there could be a bit of snow to refresh the slopes.

Then from Saturday evening through next Tuesday, there will be on-and-off snow showers (impossible to figure out the timing of the snow at this point). We might see a few inches of accumulation during this time, but the storm track will stay north of Colorado which will prevent Copper from seeing heavier snow. There might be a stronger storm near or over Colorado around the middle of next week (21st or so), but I have nearly zero confidence in forecasting a storm's exact position 7 days in advance, so hope for the best and stay tuned.
