"Through Saturday afternoon, the guidance is strongly converged on a warm, dry, and windy stretch across Colorado ski country. Expect recurring gusts of 30 to 50 mph at many exposed lifts and ridgelines, with a few stronger bursts near the Divide, while mountain temperatures run well above normal and push many bases and mid-mountain elevations into the 30s and 40s."
"Snow should break out Saturday evening from Steamboat and the northern Divide south into the I-70 corridor, with snow levels starting near 8,500 to 9,500 feet and then crashing to around 3,000 to 5,000 feet overnight, so precipitation quickly turns to all snow at ski elevations. The best refresh still looks centered on Winter Park, Loveland, and Arapahoe Basin, where about 4"-8" is the most realistic outcome."
Colorado ski country experiences warm, dry, and windy conditions through Saturday afternoon with gusts of 30 to 50 mph at exposed areas and temperatures in the 30s and 40s at base and mid-mountain elevations. A cold front arrives Saturday evening, bringing snow to the northern Divide and I-70 corridor with snow levels dropping from 8,500-9,500 feet to 3,000-5,000 feet overnight. Winter Park, Loveland, and Arapahoe Basin expect 4-8 inches of new snow, while southern and southwest Colorado receive minimal accumulation. After Sunday, conditions turn increasingly warm and dry with only spotty snow possible near Steamboat and the northern Divide.
