Luck was on our side on Tuesday as a burst of intense snow dropped a quick 3-4 inches on Tuesday morning, then another burst of intense snow dropped a second shot of 3-4 inches on Tuesday evening, amounting to 7 inches of new snow on the Wednesday morning report. Get out early on Wednesday to take advantage of this new snow before the sun thickens the powder.

Wednesday afternoon and Thursday will be dry, then the next storm will bring snow to Colorado on Friday and Saturday. This next storm will dive to the south of Colorado, which is not an ideal storm track for Copper. No matter, we should still be able to get some snow on Friday and Saturday with amounts around 3-6 inches.

Following drier weather on Sunday, a colder storm will bring snow from Monday night through Wednesday morning, and this storm might track more directly over Colorado, which would be more favorable for Copper and could produce 4-8 inches or more. Stay tuned!
