It's safe to call Monday and Monday night a successful forecast (1-4") as every resort along the corridor is reporting 1-3 inches. Here's the full breakdown:

• Breckenridge: 3"
• Abasin: 2"
• Beaver Creek: 2"
• Copper: 2"
• Keystone: 2"
• Vail: 2"
• Winter Park: 2"
• Loveland: 1"

Our current system is now spinning south of the Four Corners region and it will continue to make its way east across northern New Mexico and southern Colorado over the next 24 hours. 

For travel, all road surfaces are now wet, icy, and slushy. This will remain the case through Tuesday afternoon.  

As we've been discussing over the past two days, the primary focus of this storm will be on areas along and east of the Continental Divide. Snow levels will be on the high side through Tuesday afternoon before dropping down to between 5,000 and 6,000 feet on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. For areas west of the divide, we are looking at 2-6 inches, with slightly higher amounts possible in Summit County. For areas along and east of the divide, moderate to very heavy snow on Tuesday night should deliver 6-12 inches through Wednesday morning. There are quite a few models that are bringing even healthier totals but I'm keeping this storm on the conservative side and hoping for the best!

If you are looking to chase powder, I'd have my eyes on Winter Park, Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Keystone. The snow quality will be heavy and surfy but this should help cover up a lot of the crud underneath. 

The road surfaces will become completely snow-packed from the foothills west of Denver through Vail. Due to the warmer nature of this storm, the road surfaces from the Front Range to Idaho Springs will be very prone to accidents so please keep an eye on CDOT for the latest information.

Lingering showers through early Wednesday afternoon will give way to clearing skies by Wednesday night. Temperatures will then return to the mid-to-upper 30s on Thursday under mostly sunny skies. 

After the sunny and dry day on Thursday, changes will quickly begin to take place on Thursday night and into Friday morning.

This late-week storm will be very similar to our current storm as it will likely wrap up near the Four Corners and swing across southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. We'll go with 4-10 inches along the corridor through Saturday night, with the best totals once again taking aim for areas along and east of the divide. 

Looking further ahead, Sunday should be on the dry side before we see the chance for yet another system by next Monday and Tuesday. We could then see dry conditions prevail during the latter half of next week. 

Thanks for reading, travel safe, and let it snow!
