Sunday’s 5 am snow report shows 0 inches across the mountain, though light snow just started to fall as I write this update on Sunday at 8 am.

Through early afternoon on Sunday, expect just light snow showers. Then a cold front will move through between 1-3 pm and this is when we should see a burst of intense snow. Snow will then continue through Sunday night and likely taper off by Monday morning. I still like a storm total of 5-10 inches with maybe half of this falling by Sunday’s last chair and more falling on Sunday night. Monday morning should offer the softest turns thanks to the snow from Sunday and the additional fluff that falls on Sunday night.

Following the lingering snow showers on Monday, we should see dry weather from Monday night through Thursday.

Then from Friday, December 13 to Monday, December 16, things could get interesting. Most models are hinting that northern Colorado could see snow during all four of these days and that the accumulation could be significant. We are still about one week away from this multi-part storm, and I do not want to over-promise. But my interest is piqued and I’ll let you know if the forecast trend continues to point to multiple powder days around next weekend.

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