Low clouds are shrouding the peaks around Copper on Sunday morning, though I think the sun will be able to break through the clouds at some point during the day.

A weak storm will skirt northern Colorado on Sunday night and it should drop 1-3 inches of snow on Copper between late Sunday afternoon and early Monday morning. There might be a few fresh turns to enjoy on Monday.

Then a stronger system will track over northern New Mexico from Monday night through Wednesday morning. This storm track is not ideal for Copper (too far south), so I am holding my snow expectations in check. I think we’ll receive a few inches of snow on Monday night into Tuesday morning, and then as the storm departs, we could see another couple inches of fluff from Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening. Thus, there will likely be fresh turns on Tuesday and perhaps on Wednesday first chair.

After this storm, Wednesday through Saturday should be dry, sunny, and warm, with a series of storms aimed at Colorado between April 9-12.
