Opening day is coming up on Friday, November 8, and conditions should be pretty good (on limited terrain, of course) as the snow continues to fall.

The first storm of the week dropped 20 inches from Sunday into Monday.

And now the second storm of the week dropped 6 inches from Tuesday to Wednesday morning.

Most of Wednesday and Thursday will bring just light snow amounts as the storm will stall well to the south of Colorado.

Then from Friday into Saturday, the storm will move back north across Colorado and should deliver a few additional inches of snow. High temperatures on Friday (opening day) and Saturday should be in the upper 20s.

After that, Sunday and Monday will be dry and warmer with a high temperature in the 30s.

The next storm should bring snow on Tuesday and Wednesday (November 12-13) with temperatures dropping back into the teens and 20s.

Overall, this is an excellent start to the season! 

My next update will be on Thursday morning.

Thanks for reading!
