Tuesday morning freshies

We saw snow begin on Monday afternoon with 2 inches falling before lifts closed, then snow continued with 4 inches accumulating on Monday evening. So on Tuesday morning, expect the four inches of overnight powder to be fresh with cold temperatures in the single digits.

Snow Wednesday & Wednesday Night

Expect snow to ramp up on Wednesday midday with possibly intense snow on Wednesday night into Thursday morning. I like the look of this storm – we’ll have adequate moisture, a temperature of 5-10F at the mountaintop, and a wind direction from the west and west-northwest. These are all pretty good ingredients for snow at Winter Park. Right now I’ll keep the forecast conservative at 2-6 inches, but some higher-resolution models are calling for 5-10 inches of deep, fluffy powder. Conditions will be soft on Wednesday afternoon with likely very, very good powder on Thursday morning.

Light snow through Saturday

While the most intense snow should end on Thursday morning, additional light snow should fall from Thursday through Saturday with a few inches possible each day and night as storm energy tracks across northern Colorado. Conditions should stay soft and fun and maybe deep!

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
