Mary Jane Opening Thanksgiving Day

Mary Jane will open for the 2018-19 season today with 126 acres of additional terrain. Mary Jane Trail and Arrowhead Loop will be accessed from the Super Gauge Express, Iron Horse, and Pony Express lifts.

Forecast

We are still on track for multiple storms through Saturday. Clouds are slowly increasing on Thursday morning ahead of storm #1 on Thursday evening.

Thursday Night

Storm #1 will be the weaker of the two storms but it will still provide a nice punch. Look for moderate to heavy snow through Thursday night and 2-6 inches by Friday morning.

Friday

Light snow showers will continue to fall on Friday thanks to favorable west to northwest winds but totals will be light ahead of storm #2 on Friday night.

Friday Night - Sunday

The fun will then continue on Saturday and into Saturday night as all of the right storm ingredients take aim for Colorado. Light to moderate snow will fall on Friday night ahead of heavy snow through Saturday. Look for 5-10 inches by Sunday morning and maybe more if everything lines up in our favor.

Saturday will offer storm skiing but Sunday AM will offer the best turns of the weekend. Temperatures will start out in the single digits and only rise into the teens by midday so plan to bundle up! 

Next Week

Cool temperatures and partly sunny skies will kick off the final week of November. Look for daytime highs in the 20s and overnight lows in the single digits.

We'll then be watching Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for something to move into Colorado. The models have very little agreement for late next week so we'll how everything lines up through early next week.
