Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Final Post of the 2024-2025 Season

Summary

Thanks for reading the Copper Daily Snow this season, and best wishes for a wonderful spring, summer, and fall!

Update

I appreciate your readership and support of the Copper Daily Snow!

This 2024-2025 season at Copper was pretty good with a strong start, deeper-than-average snowpack for all of the season, and limited extended periods of drier weather.

Storms during November created a deeper-than-average snowpack, December was mostly dry for the first three weeks of the month, and then a storm cycle delivered snow during 12 of 15 days between December 24 and January 7.

The deepest storm cycles occurred:

  • In late November, with 38 inches in four days from November 25-28

  • In mid-February, with 43 inches in eight days from February 12-19.

By late March and early April, the snowpack at Copper and the northern mountains of Colorado topped out near average, and then very warm weather caused a decline in April. That said, storms during late April and early May kept the snowpack in decent shape through closing day on May 11.

The total wintertime snowfall at mid-mountain was about 340 inches.

All of the statistics that I reference here are available on Copper's "Snow Report" tab on OpenSnow.

I hope that you have a wonderful spring, summer, and fall, and again, thanks for reading the Copper Daily Snow this season!
