Colorado results are in! It's a record year for snow

Eight Colorado ski resorts saw snow reports worthy of the record books according to Colorado Ski Country USA. The state of Colorado saw more than 100 powder days based on a tally of the number of days one resort or another picked up new snow. After many resorts delayed opening their doors because of poor early snow conditions the season really did kick off with a bang in December.

Among the 26 ski resort members, record snowfall was recorded at Beaver Creek (430 inches), Crested Butte (422 inches), Monarch Mountain (482 inches), Powderhorn (320 inches), Silverton (550 inches), Snowmass (450 inches), Steamboat (489 inches) and Telluride (353 inches).

Vail saw its third snowiest winter on record, Durango Mountain Resort recorded its fifth snowiest winter and snowfall totals at both Sunlight Mountain Resort near Glenwood Springs and Copper Mountain landed in the top 10 in the resorts’ histories, according to Ski Country.Keystone ski resort tied its best snowfall in the previous eight years, and Eldora received its best snow year in the previous five years. December and January were record snow months at Snowmass and Vail, and Telluride received record snowfall from December to February. January and February snowfall were amongst the highest in Loveland’s history, and 2007-’08 marked the first time Steamboat surpassed the 100-inch cumulative mark for three months in one ski season — from December through to February.
