Summary
While the current snowpack depth sits at a modest 13 inches—about 46% below average—hope is on the horizon. The forecast calls for 0.7 inches of fresh snow today, with more than 6.6 inches expected over the next 72 hours and up to 9 inches by midweek. Anticipation is building as a major winter storm takes aim at Colorado’s high country, promising to blanket Loveland in much-needed powder.
Skiers and riders can expect early-season conditions with a thin base, but expanding terrain openings across Summit County signal that winter is finally delivering. As the snow begins to stack up, avalanche danger is on the rise, especially in backcountry zones—officials urge caution as conditions shift rapidly. Whether you're carving groomers or catching live music and art in town, Loveland offers a mix of mountain adventure and local charm this Thursday. Keep your eyes on the skies—this weekend could bring the storm we’ve all been waiting for.
