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.
