Sunday

Sunday will start with an inversion - temperatures are a few degrees cooler at the base compared to the summit, with readings generally in the 15-20°F range.

The rest of the day will be warmer with a high temperature in the low 30s and mostly sunny skies.

Lift 5 and 6 opened this weekend, and our snowpack is 167% of the 30-year average for this date, so things are in a good spot for December 1st.

Monday to Saturday

Monday through Saturday will be dry and mostly sunny. Temperatures will be a bit warmer with daytime highs in the 30s.

Sunday, December 8 - Tuesday, December 10

Sometime during the December 8-10 window, a storm will track close to Colorado and will likely bring slightly cooler temperatures, more clouds, and maybe some snowflakes. Snow amounts will likely be light since the storm may favor areas to the north and east of the Telluride.

Longer Range

December 10-13 will likely be dry, and then between December 14-16, chances are increasing that a storm will bring cooler air and more snow. This is at the far end of predictable weather (15 days out) and it is not worth talking about the detailed forecast just yet, but at least the trend in the longer-range forecast models is to return us to a somewhat cooler and stormier weather pattern.

In the meantime, we have a solid base, the low sun angle of early December will help to preserve our snowpack, and more terrain should open over the coming days and weeks, so we're in an okay spot for early December, despite the mostly dry forecast for the next two weeks.

Tap below to see our forecasts:

• Telluride Ski Area (11,000 ft)
• Lizard Head Pass (10,300 ft)
• Dallas Divide (9,000 ft)
• Placerville (7,300 ft)

My next update will be on Monday morning.

Thanks for reading!
