Wednesday was a gorgeous, bluebird day at Copper with highs in the teens to low 20s. Thursday should be another perfect day with temperatures topping out in the mid-to-upper 20s. The snow is soft and the sun is out – what more could we ask for?!

The sunshine should continue on Friday and Saturday, then on Sunday, we’ll see a few more clouds and perhaps an afternoon or evening snow shower as the next storm heads toward Colorado.

There will be a few hours of heavy snow sometime between late Sunday night and Monday evening, so there will likely be a few inches of powder on Monday, with powder turns also possible on Tuesday morning. I am expecting about 3-6 inches from this system, which means that you should keep your eye on early next week as the next time to score some freshies.

After that, March 7-10 should bring us more springtime sunshine, then there will be a chance for snow starting around March 10.
