Get ready for more snow, especially Tuesday with snow in the forecast every day for the next week in Steamboat Springs, and very cold temperatures. Craig and Moffat County will also be getting snow starting more on Thursday morning through next Monday. That’s when it gets really cold with temperatures well below zero overnight throughout Northwest Colorado.
The ski area had about two feet of new snow over the weekend, which meant a Powder Day in the ‘Boat and lots of snowblowers back in action in driveways. Steamboat Resort now has 86% of the terrain on the mountain open, including Mahogany Ridge, which opened last Friday.
