Last week, Thursday morning brought us 6 inches of fresh snow at Bear Mountain. This storm passed quickly, leaving a sunny and warm Saturday and Sunday filled with great spring skiing.

This week, a low pressure system approaches from the southwest, bringing lots of moisture our way. While it’s shaping up to be a large upslope event, Bear Mountain can hope to pick up another 6 inches from Wednesday through Thursday.

Friday–Monday, winter moves back into Northern Colorado, with chances of snow every day.

Daytime temperatures will sit in the mid-20s, and nights dipping into the low teens. Calm winds will come from the south and east, gusting up to 12mph.

Ski the sun path this weekend, starting with more solar aspects in the morning (think West Bowl and The Far Side), and moving to the predominantly northern aspects as they warm in the afternoon.
