Colorado ski resorts have been enjoying a bounty of fresh snow for the past few weeks, as the most recent snowstorm blessed the state with snow accumulations between eight and 35 inches.

 

The storm ended Tuesday afternoon and nearly every resort posted double-digit snow totals for the week. Wolf Creek, in the southwest part of the state, boasted 35 inches for the most recent seven-day period, and Steamboat enjoyed a robust 28.5 inches for the week. Silverton measured a weekly total of 25 inches and Telluride benefited with 23 inches.

 

Loveland and Winter Park enjoyed 21.5 inches of new snow for the week and Monarch celebrated 20.5 inches. A weekly total of 20 inches of new snow fell at both Copper Mountain and Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort.

 

Most Colorado resorts are now reporting mid-mountain base depths in the 40-to-50-inch range. However, in Southern Colorado, Silverton is sporting a 90-inch mid-mountain base depth.
