With more powder on the way, Colorado’s ski resorts reported snow totals in the half-foot range as of Monday morning, Nov. 25.

The snowstorm that snarled traffic on the Interstate 70 corridor overnight also brought 9 inches of snow to Copper Mountain and Vail Mountain. Beaver Creek Resort, which is scheduled to open Wednesday, Nov. 27, also reported 9 inches of fresh snowfall.

Keystone Resort reported 8 inches of snow, while Steamboat Resort and the Aspen-Snowmass mountains reported 7 inches. Winter Park Resort and Breckenridge Ski Resort both reported 6 inches of snow accumulations.

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area was not far behind, reporting 5 inches of powder and announcing that the Lenawee Express would start running for the season Monday. Meanwhile Loveland Ski Area reported just 3.5 inches of snow accumulating near the Continental Divide.

Another wave of significant snowfall is expected to begin Monday night and last through Thanksgiving. While the snow would be a boon to terrain openings at Colorado ski resorts, it could create difficulties for holiday travelers.
