An active pattern across the Rockies continues to deliver late-season snow to the remaining ski areas that are open in Colorado. Later this week, a storm will bring high elevation snow to the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies, and over the weekend, portions of the Northern U.S. Rockies (especially Montana) could see heavy snow.
