Happy autumn!

Or actually, happy almost winter:-)

Our new interactive snowfall map shows that a few inches fell on Sunday, October 11th. 

At Steamboat, the storm dropped about 3 inches across the upper part of the mountain. The first image I managed to grab was not until the next day (Monday) and the sun had already started melting some of the snow. But it's still fun to see the snow stake covered in flakes!

Here's the schedule coming up:

• November 24th: Daily posts begin here on the Steamboat Daily Snow
• December 1st: Scheduled opening day

The forecast for the rest of October looks to be mostly dry, though maybe we'll get lucky and a few flakes will return to the northern mountains. And hopefully, the weather pattern will change with plentiful snow starting in early November and continuing through April!

Until November 24th, keep an eye on our Steamboat 10-day outlook and our 3-day hourly forecast to track storms heading toward the mountain.

Thanks for reading!
