Summit Base Depth : 47 inches Last 24 Hours : 7 inches Last 48 Hours : 19 inches Last 72 Hours : […]
Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes I like to know what other parts of the country or world are getting snow so that I can be appropriately jealous (or happily smug about Colorado totals).

Citing marginal temperatures for snow making, Steamboat Springs, Vail, and Eldora have all pushed back their season openings. Seven resorts are currently open, though most are only […]
