Beginning last Friday, snowfall has been falling intermittently across the Mountains of Colorado resulting from several shortwaves and pockets of moisture hanging out in the northwest flow.

For the first time this winter, skiing was actually decent on Tuesday! Despite this, snowpack remains disconcertingly low statewide. We check-in on the status of our snowpack and provide our thoughts on another system eyeing the Front Range this weekend.
