It is winter time at Copper Mountain! The Saturday morning temperature is chilly, in the 0-10F range at mid mountain, and we’ve measured about 15 inches of new snow between Wednesday and Friday, with 6 of those fresh inches falling on Friday morning. The mountain is looking good and opening day is right around the corner, on Friday, November 13th!

We will enjoy a short break from the snow with dry and sunny weather on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, then another cold storm will bring snow back to Copper starting around midday Tuesday and continuing through Wednesday. My early thought is that this storm will bring snow accumulations in the 4-8 inch range, and I will update this forecast each day, so keep checking back to see how much powder there will be for opening day!
