Friday was a chilly day with highs in the uppers teens to low 20s, and snow fell through most of the day though the flakes did not add up to much – just an inch.

Then on Friday night, two inches of snow fell at the official mid-mountain stake, and now on Saturday morning, light snow is just tapering off. If you’re heading out on Saturday, you’ll find a morning temperature of 10-15F with soft-ish snow from Friday night and perhaps a coating to an inch of additional snow during the morning. Then the sun should break out with temperatures rising into the mid-to-upper 20s.

On Sunday and Monday look for sunny and warm weather with highs in the 40s.

After that, we'll have two storms in five days.

The first storm will bring 3-6 inches of snow from Tuesday midday through Tuesday at midnight, so you'll find softer conditions on the groomers on Tuesday afternoon and again on Wednesday morning.

Then the second storm should bring snow from Thursday night through Saturday morning (April 19-21), with low-end powder amounts possible on Friday and Saturday morning. If the storm slows down a little, perhaps we'll even get more than 6 inches. This second storm will be perfectly timed to give you the last shot at powder before Winter Park closes on Sunday, April 22nd (Mary Jane will be open through Sunday, May 6th!).

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for an update each morning!
