Thanksgiving Day was sunny with high temperatures in the 20s. The upper mountain has decent snow coverage, and snowmaking teams are blowing snow in other areas in preparation to open limited terrain on Saturday, November 27.

The weather forecast for the next seven days is going to be like the movie Groundhog Day as it'll feel like each day is a copy of the previous day. We'll see partly-to-mostly sunny skies, comfortable daytime temperatures in the 30s, and nighttime lows in the 20s with some snowmaking possible at times. There could be limited additional terrain openings during this time thanks to snowmaking.

Our next chance for natural snow will be sometime between Friday, December 3, and Sunday, December 5. During this time, a storm might clip northern Colorado. I'm not holding my breath for much (or any) snow, though.

Some longer-range forecast models show a stormier pattern developing during the week of December 6-10, but that is far out into the 'Fantasy Land' of weather models and we should mostly treat it as speculation and not a sure-thing forecast of what's to come.

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