Snow began falling late on Monday night and accumulated to 2 inches by 5 am on Tuesday morning. Light-to-moderate snow should continue to fall through the day on Tuesday, so conditions should stay soft and the powder may get a bit deeper through midday. Then on Tuesday afternoon, expect more showery snow with a mix of sunshine followed by bursts of intense snow. On Tuesday night, the storm should throw one last batch of snow toward Copper, so expect at least a few inches after lifts close, meaning that you should find soft turns on Wednesday morning as well.

After this storm, the weather on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be dry. Then the next storm should bring snow from Saturday through Monday morning, with the best powder potential on Sunday and/or Monday morning.

After that, we might see another storm during the middle or end of next week. Don’t forget that closing weekend is April 15-16, so get your skiing in while the lifts are still spinning!
