Copper reported 9 inches of snow from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, and the entire mountain looks white and winter like. Can’t wait for opening day on Friday, November 13th!

The weather forecast for the next 7 days is a good one. We’ll see snow late Thursday night through midday Friday, with 2-4 inches likely (a bit more than is in the forecast below as I think this storm will over perform). Then we’ll see dry weather on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, with another storm bringing snow and cold air back to Copper on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. Yet another storm is possible sometime around Saturday, November 14th. Overall, great news, both in terms of new snow potential as well as cold temperatures for snowmaking. Time to get excited for the season!!!
