Friday Recap
The storm dropped about 3 inches of snow on Thursday night, then 2 inches fell on Friday, with another 2 inches at the summit on Friday night. The setup for this storm wasn't perfect for Steamboat, but at least some snow made it to the mountain.
Saturday
On Saturday morning, there will be a few inches of fresh snow to find on the upper mountain.
Weatherwise, Saturday will be a mixed day with some clouds, some sunshine, and also a few snow showers developing during the afternoon and evening. The high temperature will be in the 20s.
Sunday Closing Day
For Sunday's closing day, the weather should be pretty good with a high temperature in the 30s to low 40s, partly-to-mostly sunny skies, and just a bit of a gusty wind at the summit during the late afternoon.
