Telluride Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 7 months ago April 6, 2024
New snow for closing weekend!
Summary
On Friday night, 5-7 inches of snow fell across the mountains, so there will be soft-ish turns on Saturday morning.
Update
Friday
Friday was the final dry and warm day, and we also saw gusty winds during the afternoon.
Saturday
Sensors showed that the storm dropped 5-7 inches of snow across the mountain on Friday night, so there will be untracked powder now on Saturday morning.
The base will be crunchy, so the best conditions could be on lower angle and previously groomed terrain.
From Saturday late morning through the afternoon, there may be a few snow showers, but the bigger story might be occasionally gusty winds that could impact some summit lift operations.
The high temperature will be chilly, in the mid-teens.
Sunday (Closing Day)
For closing day on Sunday, we should see soft snow following Saturday's storm, mostly sunny skies, light winds, and a high temperature climbing into the low 20s. It doesn't get much better than this for the weather on closing day!
