On Monday, we saw sunny and dry weather with strong winds that gusted to 50-60mph.

On Monday night, we only managed to grab a coating to an inch of snow on the summit snow stake as the storm came together just a little farther south of the mountain. That was generally well forecast by most models, but I was hoping that we would have seen a little more snow as the cold front moved through.

On Tuesday, expect sunshine and chilly temperatures with highs in the teens to low 20s.

On Wednesday, look forward to sunny weather and warmer high temperatures in the 20s and 30s.

From April 1-5, we will see dry weather, mostly sunny skies, and warm temperatures with afternoon highs in the 40s and 50s. It will feel like springtime and snow conditions should be crunchy and firm in the morning and then rapidly soften by mid-to-late morning.

Starting on April 6 and through mid-April, pieces of a storm along the west coast should move east and bring occasional chances for precipitation here in Colorado. While this weather pattern could deliver more accumulating snow a few different times through our closing day, it’s likely that most of the days during the first half of April will offer classic spring conditions rather than powder. Pack your sunscreen!

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