Copper Mountain, Colorado — A late October snowstorm pounded the Colorado high country Wednesday, Oct. 26, with Arapahoe Basin and Loveland ski areas reporting 12 inches of new snow by mid-morning.
Copper Mountain hasn’t started reporting official snowfall totals yet, but snowfall amounts of 10 inches or more were widespread across the mountain resorts along the I-70 corridor.
Cold temperatures the next few days will help Copper’s snowmaking crews put the finishing touches on the early season base in preparation for the Nov. 4 opening.
Ski teams from around the world are also converging on Copper for early season training.
