The next influx of mountain snow is due mid-week, according to Joel Gratz, founding meteorologist at OpenSnow, a mountain snow forecasting and reporting service.
“On Tuesday, while most mountains see dry weather throughout the day, the first pieces of energy from the midweek storm will bring snow showers to the northern mountains,” Gratz wrote in his Monday morning report. “From Tuesday night through Wednesday, snow showers will ramp up over the northern mountains, with snow likely becoming moderate to intense by Wednesday afternoon. Areas north of I-70 could see powder during the afternoon on Wednesday. Wednesday night into Thursday morning is when all mountains will see the most snow, with Thursday morning likely being the best time for powder.”
Steamboat, Telluride, Silverton, Snowmass and Beaver Creek are forecast to receive a foot or more. Other areas that can expect to hit double-digits include Aspen Highlands, Purgatory, Aspen, Buttermilk, Crested Butte and Vail.
Nine of Colorado’s 28 resorts are reporting base depths at 100% or more of their historical averages for this date. Wolf Creek is sitting at 117% and Powderhorn 115%. Others at 100% or more include the four Aspen Snowmass resorts, Sunlight, Crested Butte and Monarch.
