Finally some snow! There has been a drought throughout most of Colorado over the last 2 weeks, but the snow if falling again! The snow is a bit wet still and may blend nicely with the slush that has accumulated over the last 2 weeks. And while warmer temperatures are expected towards the end of the week, there should be some snow over the next couple days. Check out the weather forecast and try to get up here in the next few days for some spring powder!
Here is the snow report for 3/19/2012:
Aspen (Highlands): 24 hr: 3 in, 72 hr: 3 in
Aspen Highlands got a fresh 3 inches last night, giving them some much needed snow. This should help fill in some of the dirt gaps that have been popping up lately.
Aspen (Ajax) : 24 hr: 3 in, 72 hr: 3 in
Aspen Mountain also got 3 inches last night, which should help the mountain stay away from “early season conditions.” Be on the lookout for more snow in the next few days.
Aspen (Buttermilk): 24 hr: 2 in, 72 hr: 2 in
Buttermilk got a couple new inches over night, again helping cover all the dirt and lengthen the season. No mountains have reported early closing dates this year, so you still have about a month to take your spring ski vacation.
Beaver Creek: 24 hr: 5 in, 72 hr: 5 in
While it has been warm in Beaver Creek the last 2 weeks, the mountain got 5 inches of fresh last night and there is more expected on the way.
Breckenridge: 24 hr: 2 in, 72 hr: 2 in
Breckenridge got a couple of new inches last night – hopefully it has not gotten blown away yet. And if you haven’t heard, as a part of the 50 Wishes Campaign, Breckenridge has extended the season by 2 weeks! So come check out some spring skiing in Breckenridge!
Copper Mountain: 24 hr: 1 in, 72 hr: 1 in
Copper Mountain got a little dusting last night, but the mountain still in “early season” shape. Watch out for rocks and dirt when skiing.
Keystone: 24 hr: 2 in, 72 hr: 2 in
Keystone got a couple inches last night, but the mountain is only about half open due to the hot weather over the last couple weeks. With less than 50% open, you’ve really got to watch out for rocks, dirt, and closed areas. Be careful out there!
Snowmass: 24 hr: 5 in, 72 hr: 5 in
With 5 inches from last night and 100% of the mountain open, Snowmass is in great shape for the spring time. I skied Snowmass last week, and was able to summit the mountain and hit some of their back-country terrain. While there were quite a few rocks, the mountain was in great shape overall.
Telluride: 24 hr: 11 in, 72 hr: 11 in
Telluride got hit with almost a foot of snow last night! While only about 80% of the mountain is open, expect some spring powder conditions. This means a little bit of heavy powder sitting on a slushier base. Telluride is a great place to visit this spring, especially with more snow on the way.
Vail: 24 hr: 5 in, 72 hr: 5 in
Vail got 5 inches last night, which should help cover up some of the dirt you’ve been seeing lately. Now 80% of the mountain is open, but we may see some more terrain open up as the snow continues to fall.
March has kicked back into gear since last night, as snow is expected to fall throughout the Colorado Rockies thru Wednesday. While California has been getting multiple feet per night, Colorado should start to shape up for some spring powder here soon.
Telluride and Snowmass are tied for the king of March with 20 inches each this month!

Well, we haven’t seen any snow in the Colorado Rockies in the last week or so, and with temperatures in the 50′s and 60′s we can safely assume that spring is upon us. And yes, this means SPRING SKIING!
While there will probably be a few spring storms that pass through and drop off some snow in the Colorado Rockies in late March and April, there is slushy snow and blue skies for now. And although skiing when there is tons of snow is great, it doesn’t get much better than skiing in t-shirts under a great blue sky.
Spring skiing often resembles “Early Season Conditions,” so be careful out there and watch out for rocks, protruding trees, dirt gaps, and even puddles! And if you are looking to ski through the trees, be cautious because the snow is heavy and planting turns can get a little tricky. So while skiing in the spring is possibly the most fun, there can be some questionable conditions – stay safe and have fun!

Despite the optimistic weather reports for the last few days, hardly any snow has fallen this week in Colorado. Things are starting to even feel a bit like spring skiing conditions…but there are always a few big storms that come through Colorado in March and April, so don’t put away your powder gear just yet!
Here is the snow report for 3/8/2012:
Aspen (Highlands): 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 0 in
Aspen Highlands hasn’t gotten much snow since last week, look for packed powder and warm weather conditions.

Beaver Creek: 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 0 in
It’s been sunny and warm in the Vail Valley the past week, leaving spring-like skiing conditions. Snow is expected to fall in the next few days, so you might need to still wear more than a t-shirt this weekend.
Breckenridge: 24 hr: 1 in, 72 hr: 1 in
Breckenridge got an inch of snow last night! This is the first mountain on the report to receive snow last night! But don’t expect powder conditions in Brecken-fridge this weekend, it has probably blown away.

Despite the lack of snow in the last week, Copper Mountain has opened up 5 more trails and more than 300 new acres! Congrats to Ski Patrol in Copper for managing to open so much new terrain without the new snow.

Telluride also got an inch of fresh snow last night, adding them to the short list of mountains that did. Even without snow in the last week or so, Telluride has opened up almost 20 more trails, making the mountain 95% open. Way to go Telluride for getting this new terrain open!
Vail: 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 0 in
Vail hasn’t seen much snow in the last week, but there have been blue skies everyday! This spring-like skiing is always a nice way to mix things up, but hopefully we will get a few more storms before it’s all said and done.
March started off great, but has slowed down here over the last week or so. While some say I am optimistic, I believe we are being tricked into thinking it is spring and soon Mother Nature will give us some big powder days for the end of the season. Hope to see you on the slopes!
So far, Snowmass is the king of March with 15 inches in this month, Beaver Creek is close behind with 12!

It continues to snow! We have had a great February so far, and the snow just keeps on coming (check Total February Snow for each resort).

Snowmass has steadily been getting snow throughout the month, and the 3,000+ acre mountain has tons of space for skiers to spread out and find some snow.
Telluride: 24 hr: 0 in, 72 hr: 3 in
Telluride has been on a bit of a drought as most other mountains in Colorado have received lots of snow. Telluride is further south and in the San Juan Mountains, so it often receives different snow than the rest of the northern and north-western Rockies. Sometimes its good, sometimes not so much.
Vail: 24 hr: 12 in, 72 hr: 26 in
Vail got another foot last night! I am starting to be a bit skeptical of their numbers over the last 2 days as there has been little or no snow in town, but there has definitely been powder on the mountain-especially in the back bowls. Maybe this is where they take their readings…
Vail takes the cake so far for most snow in February, but Telluride and Breckenridge are close behind. Be sure to check our Terrain Updates to see who gets the most snow this month!

Greeting fellow powder-hounds, today is a good day! With the development of a new storm system, all the Colorado Rockies got new snow yesterday and last night. Tuesday and part of Wednesday are expected to be mild, and then the snow will kick back up again for the weekend. Here are some stats and what to expect:
Aspen/Snowmass- 24hr: 14 in 72hr: 17 in
Aspen/Snowmass has been getting more snow that other Colorado ski areas this winter, so expect them to be opening more of their advanced terrain in the coming weeks.
Beaver Creek- 24hr: 9 in 72hr: 9 in
Beaver Creek has seen spurts of snow this year, providing about 80% of their terrain available to skiers and snowboarders. If the storm continues to drop snow, expect the 80% to increase to upwards of 90% in the next week or so.
Breckenridge- 24hr: 5 in 72hr: 5in
Breckenridge and all of Summit County have been struggling with a lack of snow this season, but they got hit in the storm too! With only 51% of their terrain open, Breckenridge has much room for expansion. In the next couple weeks, guests should start to see Breckenridge’s more advanced and hike-able terrain open.
Copper Mountain- 24hr: 4 in 72hr: 4 in
Copper Mountain is a unique mountain in that sometimes it catches the storm, and sometimes it misses it…and sometimes it gets snow when no one else does. Copper got a little snow yesterday, but they also have had more in the past couple weeks than other resorts in the area. Again, in the next few weeks look for the advanced terrain and upper bowls to start opening up.
Crested Butte- 24hr: 12 in 72hr: 15 in
Crested Butte got tons of snow last night and in the last 3 days! While there isn’t a desired base in Crested Butte yet, this new snow should be ski-able and hopefully help pack the base needed for the season.
Keystone- 24hr: 4 in 72hr: 4 in
Keystone, another Summit County mountain, hasn’t seen the snowfall it would like this year. However, the new snow is sure to help develop some dry areas, and hopefully cat runs and hike-able terrain will be open by the end of the month.
Telluride- 24hr: 8 in 72hr: 10 in
Telluride also got plenty of snow last night, and they have done a great job keeping trails open throughout the season. This new snow should help put a base down for the chutes, which could open in the coming weeks.
Vail- 24hr: 10 in 72hr: 10 in
Vail got hit big last night, which is much needed for the large mountain. Its back bowls, along with Blue Sky Basin, have been yearning for snow all season, and now it is coming. By next week we should start to see Chair 17 or Chair 5 open up.

Aspen: 24 hr: 0in 72 hr: 5in
Aspen is one of the only mountains in the Colorado Rockies that got snow this week, giving some much needed powder to anxious skiers. The snow helped open up the 560 ft long superpipe, which is one of the many features that will be used in the 2012 Winter X Games.
Breckenridge: 24 hr: 0in 72 hr: 0in
