Several Colorado ski resorts are receiving much-needed snowfall just in time for the weekend, a boost that is especially welcome given that another dry spell is expected next week.
A storm that began Thursday and is continuing on Friday is forecast to deliver two-day totals of 14 inches at Snowmass, 13 at Aspen Mountain and Aspen Highlands, 12 at Vail and Beaver Creek, according to the OpenSnow reporting and forecasting service.
The storm began Thursday for those areas. Summit County resorts received negligible snow as of 6 a.m. Friday, but Keystone can expect eight inches through the day on Friday, Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge seven, Copper Mountain six.
Winter Park is forecast to receive nine inches, Eldora eight and Loveland seven.

Five of Colorado’s most difficult (dare we say scary?) ski runs“There’s new snow on the ground, and it’ll snow for a lot of the day in most areas,” OpenSnow founding meteorologist Joel Gratz wrote in his Friday morning update. “With a mostly dry longer-range outlook, this will be a great time to enjoy powder, or at least softer snow. Saturday will be sunny and cool with a high in the mid-20s. There should be soft conditions and powder leftovers in the morning. Both Sunday and Monday will be warmer, with highs in the mid-30s.”
Hopes for another storm next Tuesday and Wednesday that once looked promising are dimming, Gratz wrote, with the storm track expected to remain mostly north of Colorado.
“Our northern mountains may be brushed by occasional systems with snow showers,” Gratz said, “but overall it’s not a good outlook.”
