Unbelievable amount of snow dumped in Vail & Beaver Creek in the last 24 hours. Vail reported 18″ and Beaver Creek 11″. At Royal Elk Glades my favorite run on a powder day you will be able to ski on waist deep snow today!!! Let’s wrap this blog quick so everyone including myself can get out there and enjoy this awesome day!!!
Cold will finally subside (for us at least) as subzero temps have subjugated Coloradans for a substantial time. The good news is temps will begin to rise as the weekend arrives with snow.
The great news is northwest flow will again bring numerous short-wave systems to northern Colorado, favoring Steamboat, Winter Park, Summit County, and yes, Vail/Beaver Creek.
Expect on-mountain temps for the weekend returning to normal, with daytime highs in the high teens and 20s and overnight lows dipping into the single digits. Winds will obviously be gusty from the west/northwest, with ridge-top gusts in the 40-mph range at times.
Snow totals look promising for the next three days, as we are in the same pattern we saw when nearly 40 inches fell in five days a Vail. A pattern that typically gets better with each passing day
Expect morning reports to grow as the weekend progresses. Monday into Tuesday will only get better, as constant snowfall is expected and ski tracks should fill in nicely.
