It was quite a weekend in the Colorado Rockies, with snowfall anywhere between 5″-20″ inches from Saturday to Sunday. In most areas the snow was a little heavy and damp for this time of year, but this is not a bad thing since many resorts still need a packed base. More snow is expected throughout the week, so come on up to the Colorado Rockies for a great skiing adventure! Here’s a quick update of what happened this weekend:

Aspen: 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 14 in

Aspen got hit hard by the recent storm, reporting 26″ inches in the last week. Aspen Mountain now has 97% of its terrain open, providing access to some of the best skiing in Colorado. Also, the X-Games are in Aspen this weekend, so be sure to check it out!

Beaver Creek: 24 hr: 5 in, 72 hr: 15 in

Beaver Creek has seen some steady snowfall in the past 2 weeks, giving it a 29″ inch base, and the mountain is expecting to get hit hard by the incoming storm. 83% of the mountain is open, with all 25 lifts running and 1,500+ acres of ski-able terrain.

Breckenridge: 24 hr: 4 in, 72 hr: 17 in

Breckenridge also got hit by the storm this past weekend, allowing them to open 73% of terrain and 30/31 lifts. With a 48″ inch base and snow likely over the next few days, Breckenridge will definitely have great skiing all week long. Also, with the recent opening of the T-Bar, there is plenty of powder to be had.

Copper Mountain: 24 hr: 4 in, 72 hr: 15 in

Copper Mountain had a rough weekend, with a power outage on Sunday before 12 pm that lasted for a few hours. On the bright side of things, Copper has gotten over a foot of snow in the last 3 days, and with 70% and almost 1,000 acres of terrain open, there are fresh tracks available at the resort.

Keystone: 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 9 in

With over a foot of snow in the last week, Keystone is in great shape. While only 17/20 lifts are open, there is still about 1,400 acres of ski-able terrain open. Search hard enough, and you’ll be able to find some secret powder stashes.

Telluride: 24 hr: 4 in, 72 hr: 20 in

Telluride got hit hard on Saturday evening, leaving the resort with 16″ inches of powder on Sunday morning. Telluride has 17/18 lifts open, ensuring that everyone who visited over the weekend got some powder runs. More snow is on the way, so be sure to add Telluride to your list of ski resorts to visit this winter.

Vail: 24 hr: 5 in, 72 hr: 16 in

Vail had a big weekend, as they opened the Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin. Chair 5 was also opened up, which is always a turning point in the season at Vail. I was lucky enough to ski Vail over the weekend, and I must say it was fabulous. I was getting fresh powder each run down the mountain. While only about half of Vail acreage is available for skiing, they still have 2,325 acres open, the most of any resort in Colorado.
