Storm #1

The storm arrived on Monday night and dropped 1-2 inches by Tuesday morning at 500 am.

Between 5 am and now at 7 am (as I write this), snow has intensified, and it appears that another 2-3 inches have accumulated.

There should continue to be intense snow during the morning, and then snow showers will continue throughout Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening, likely ending at around midnight.

Additional snowfall should be another 6-10+ inches, and this means Tuesday's conditions will deepen throughout the day, and Wednesday's first chair should be soft/deep/fun.

Temperatures during the storm will generally be in the 15-25°F range, so the snow quality should be pretty fluffy.

Storm #2

The second storm this week will track over southeast Colorado, and this is not an ideal track for Steamboat.

There could be some snow from Wednesday night to Thursday night, though I expect just a coating to a couple of inches of accumulation.

Storm #3

A third storm this week will track to the south of Colorado, and again, this is not an ideal track for Steamboat.

There could be some snow from Friday night to Saturday night, and I expect just a coating to a couple of inches of accumulation.

Longer Range

All of the longer-range forecast models agree that Sunday, April 6, through Tuesday, April 15 (and maybe beyond) will trend toward spring conditions with mostly drier weather and warmer temperatures. 

This 15-day forecast could change, but for now, it looks like we'll move fully into spring mode starting on Sunday.

• Buffalo Pass (10,200 ft)
• Rabbit Ears Pass (9,500 ft)
• Town of Hayden (6,400 ft)

My next update will be on Wednesday morning.
