Monday

The official mid-mountain report on Monday morning is 4 inches with half of that falling after lifts closed on Sunday night. This is enough snow to soften the terrain, though with a favorable wind from the west I thought we would receive a little more snow than this.

During the day on Monday, another wave of energy will keep the snow going and we should see at least a few inches during the day. It’ll also be windy with 50+ mph gusts at the summit, so some lifts could run slowly or be delayed.

On Monday night, a few models hint that we could see an additional 1-4 inches of snow, so maybe luck will be on our side and maybe there will be untracked snow available on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday - Saturday

Expect dry weather with plenty of sunshine and highs in the 20s to mid-30s. There is a low chance for light snow around Friday, January 11th, but for now, I’ll keep the forecast dry.

Sunday and beyond

Two weak systems are currently projected to move from the west coast into Colorado next week. The first storm could be around Monday, January 14th, and the second storm might be around Friday, January 18th. These systems are 7-11 days away, so it’s too soon to dig into the details. I’ll keep you updated as the forecast evolves!

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
