We saw a nice burst of snow on Sunday afternoon with about 3 inches of accumulation, then another two inches fell between Sunday afternoon and first chair on Monday morning. Now on Monday, we’ll see some lingering snow in the morning, then we should get a break during the middle of the day.

Then the fun will begin late on Monday night as heavy snow begins to fall on Copper, and this should continue through most of the day on Tuesday. Expect heavy snow will 7-12 inches of accumulation (maybe more?) and conditions that get deeper and more fun as the day goes on. The snow will lighten on Tuesday night but it probably won’t stop for very long, as we should see at least another few inches on Tuesday night and another few inches on Wednesday. Following this storm, we should see a break in the snow on Wednesday night, then another round of light or moderate snow could push back in for Thursday and Friday. What a great holiday week we have coming up!
