Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, October 15th and here is a list of terrain and lifts that will be open: https://www.steamboat.com/things-to-do/events/steamboat-opening-day

Between now and opening day, we will see mostly dry weather with two chances for weak storms.

The first storm will bring a few clouds and a few snowflakes on Monday morning, and the second storm might also bring a few flakes on Wednesday night. Even though each system will NOT produce much or any natural snow, the storms will cool temperatures, and this will allow mountain crews to continue snowmaking operations during the nighttime.

Looking ahead 7-10 days, I am keeping my eye on November 16-20th as a time when multiple storms could move close to or over Colorado. It’s still a bit soon to get excited for potential systems that are 7+ days away, though since all models are showing some action returning to the Rockies, I am cautiously optimistic that we’ll see some snowflakes during this time.

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