Good news sports fans – Copper is opening this Wednesday, November 11th, and will offer free skiing to active and retired military and their dependents (more details). Even better, this is perfect timing to take advantage of the snow that will fall on Tuesday night! Expect the heaviest snow to accumulate between about 7pm Tuesday and about 10am Wednesday, with 6-9 inches likely. There are a few scenarios where Copper could see less snow than this, and a few scenarios for more snow, but I like this range and think that opening day on Wednesday will be powdery!

Over the next 7-10 days, we’ll see dry weather from Thursday through Monday, then another storm is likely around Tuesday, November 17th with perhaps a colder, slower system sometime around Saturday, November 21st. Winter is here:-)
