There is a fair chance that ski areas across Colorado could open up sometime next week, according to founding meteorologist of OpenSnow, Joel Gratz,

Based off Gratz’s forecast for next week, conditions are expected to remain warm and dry through Monday, Oct. 28, before three separate storms move into Colorado between Tuesday, Oct. 29, and Monday, Nov. 4.

The first storm is predicted to move across Colorado on Tuesday, Oct. 29 and Wednesday, Oct. 30. Gratz expects the storm to produce snow in Colorado’s southwest mountains. The second storm has the possibility of dropping flurries across the middle of Colorado or the northern mountains on Friday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2.

The final storm is forecast to drop snow on the northern mountain from Sunday, Nov. 3 through Monday, Nov. 4.

“One positive aspect of these storms will be the snow, which could total 8-20 inches for all three storms,” Gratz wrote on OpenSnow.com. “That 8-20 number is a placeholder and subject to a lot of uncertainty since this is an 8+ day forecast, but that range seems reasonable for now and roughly aligns with the snow forecast map below.”

The storms are also expected to bring a drop in temperatures. Temperatures are expected to be low enough for around-the-clock snowmaking at ski areas sometime on Tuesday, Oct. 29, and will remain favorable for the rest of the week.

Once the three storms move through Colorado, Gratz currently predicts another warm and dry spell.
