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.
