Monday

A storm on Sunday night brought snow to areas mostly north of Telluride, though we saw a few flakes with maybe 1/2 inch of accumulation on the mid-mountain snow stake.

Monday's weather will be mostly sunny with a high in the 20s.

Tuesday

Snow will begin on Monday night and there should be a few inches of new snow by Tuesday morning. Snow will fall all day Tuesday with 4-8+ inches of accumulation. Temperatures will be warm and the snow quality could be somewhat dense/thick, and rain could mix into the snow close to the base area and in town.

Wednesday

A lot of snow should fall on Tuesday night and Wednesday with 6-12 inches on Tuesday night and an additional 3-7+ inches on Wednesday. Temperatures will cool on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, so the snow quality should improve with fluffier new snow falling on top of thicker/denser snow below.

Total snowfall from Monday night through Wednesday midday/afternoon should be 18-24+ inches.

Thursday (Opening Day)

Opening day will occur on Thursday, November 28, immediately following this storm cycle, and it could be a glorious opening day with fresh/soft snow on the ground and clearing skis behind the storm.

Longer Range

Thanksgiving Day will be the start of an extended period of dry weather that could last into mid-December. We may get clipped by storms as they track from central Canada toward the U.S. east coast, so there will still be a low chance for brief periods of snow and cooler air.

The good news is that this week's snowfall will give us a solid base, more terrain should open on and just after Thanksgiving, and the low sun angle of early December will help to preserve our snowpack.
