"Through Sunday, guidance is tightly clustered on timing: the overnight cold shot is already moving out, and lingering snow shuts down from north to south by midday with gusty ridge winds still the main issue. Most resorts pick up only a minor refresh, but Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Winter Park have the best shot at useful leftovers."
"Snow levels stay far below resort bases while it is snowing, so precipitation falls as snow everywhere, and snow quality is fairly good with snow-to-liquid ratios generally in the 12-18 range. Expect resort temperatures mostly in the teens and 20s early, highs mainly in the 20s to near 30, and plenty of exposed-lift gusts in the 40-60 mph range."
"Monday is a transition day, with a partial warm-up, lighter wind overall, and only spotty follow-up snow chances focused on the Divide by late day and Monday night. This is where guidance begins to diverge on intensity more than timing, with several solutions keeping the second wave limited to nuisance snow showers."
Colorado faces minor wind-blown snow through Sunday with lingering snow showers Monday night, followed by a shift to warmer, drier conditions. Northern and central mountain resorts like Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Winter Park receive the best snow refresh, while southern mountains see minimal accumulation. Snow levels remain well below resort bases with good quality ratios of 12-18. Temperatures start in the teens and 20s, reaching highs near 30 with gusty ridge winds of 40-60 mph. Monday brings a transition day with partial warm-up, lighter winds, and spotty follow-up snow chances. Above-normal temperatures persist through Saturday before a lower-confidence storm signal potentially returns early next week.
