You’ll find Wednesday morning’s temperatures in the teens at mid-mountain, and the high should be in the upper 20s to low 30s with partly to mostly sunny skies. Comfortable temperatures, sunshine, more than half of the mountain is open (75 of 155 trails), and 24 inches of snow in the past 7 days. What more could you ask for on a Wednesday in late December?!

The forecast for Thursday and Friday will be similar to Wednesday with comfortable temperatures (highs in the 30s), partly to mostly sunny skies, and perhaps just a flurry or a few clouds at times as weak storms pass by to the north of Colorado.

Our next chance for snow will arrive on Saturday night when we could see a quick 1-3 inches during the evening. This new snow would soften the slopes for Sunday morning.

After that, I think the first few days of January will be dry, then stormier weather should return between about January 5-10.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for daily updates each morning!
