Wednesday Recap

Wednesday offered powder in the morning, and the snow quality stayed good throughout the day due to the combination of cold temperatures and snow showers.

Thursday (Mar 20)

Thursday morning is chilly with on-mountain temperatures in the single digits to low teens.

Thursday's weather should be dry, partly sunny, and warmer with a high temperature in the upper 20s.

Friday (Mar 21)

A fast-moving storm on Thursday night will track to the north of Telluride and should bring a few flakes to maybe a coating of snow by Friday mid-morning. Friday's high temperature should be in the upper 20s.

Saturday & Sunday (Mar 22-23)

On Saturday and Sunday, a storm will track across northern Colorado. While most of the storm's impact will stay to the north of Telluride, there could be some clouds and snow showers at times between Friday night and Sunday morning. Snow accumulation should be minimal with perhaps a dusting to an inch or two.

Monday to Friday (Mar 24-28)

From Monday to Friday, expect mostly sunny and warm weather with high temperatures in the 40s. It'll feel like spring.

Saturday to the Following Week (Mar 29 - April 4)

Snow will likely return at some point between March 29 and April 4, but the main area of storminess will likely stay off the West Coast and we'll need to get lucky as scraps of storm energy eject eastward and track near or over Colorado.
