Like Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be gorgeous bluebird days at Copper with clear skies, light winds, and comfortable temperatures that top out in the upper 30s to low 40s.

We’ll see a change in the weather on Sunday afternoon as clouds and wind increase ahead of our next storm. Snow should begin to fall between about 3am and 9am on Monday morning and will continue through most of the day on Monday. If you like skiing in fresh snow, with flakes falling from the sky, you’ll love Monday. My best estimate for snowfall is about 2-4 inches, so not a major storm, but plenty to refresh the groomers and to create a nice little Monday ski day.

A bit of snow could fall after lifts close on Monday afternoon, so there could be soft turns on Tuesday morning as well. Then most of the remainder of next week will be sunny and warm before our next storm arrives sometime between March 10-15.
