A storm system passed through Colorado’s mountains overnight on Thursday, dropping early-season snow on many resorts along the I-70 corridor into Friday morning.
West of the divide, Beaver Creek Resort recorded about 8 inches on its snow stake cam. Up the road, Vail Mountain recorded about 6 inches.

Arapahoe Basin logged 2 inches of snow, according to its website.
A-Basin stated in a social post on Friday that there is no official opening day yet, but skiers and riders should get their equipment ready. Keystone and Loveland are in the same boat, saying they’ll open as soon as conditions allow.
Breckenridge didn’t report official amounts as of 10:30 a.m. Friday
