Colorado ski areas
Live snowfall, snowpack depth, and 5-day forecasts at every Colorado ski + snowboard area, with per-resort interactive weather meteograms.
The average snowfall per season in Colorado varies between resorts, but ranges from 300 to 400 inches. The snowpacks typically range from 60 to 90 inches, offering excellent powder skiing. The best month to visit for skiing is typically February or March, when snow conditions are at their peak.
Colorado has a rich ski history, with the first commercial ski resort, Howelsen Hill, opening in Steamboat Springs in 1915. The state hosted the Winter Olympics in 1960 in Squaw Valley, and in 1976 in Innsbruck, Austria, a Colorado native, Billy Kidd, became the first American male to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.
Many of Colorado's ski resorts also have interesting histories. Vail, which opened in 1962, was founded by Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton, both of whom served in the 10th Mountain Division during World War II. Breckenridge, which opened in 1961, was once a mining town and has preserved much of its historic charm. Meanwhile, Aspen has been a popular destination for celebrities and ski enthusiasts since the 1950s.

About Colorado ski conditions
Where do the Colorado ski conditions come from?
Fresh-snow totals are aggregated from resort-side reporting, NOAA's NOHRSC snow analysis grid, and nearby SNOTEL stations. Snowpack and SWE typically come from the closest SNOTEL station to each resort.
What's a meteogram?
A compact 15-day weather chart showing temperature, precipitation, wind, and weather-symbol forecast in one view. It's the same data professional forecasters use, rendered for quick at-a-glance trip planning.
What about backcountry conditions in Colorado?
Always consult your regional avalanche center — resort conditions don't translate to backcountry safety. The U.S. avalanche center directory is at avalanche.org.
Can I get an alert when fresh snow falls at a Colorado resort?
Yes. Save any ski area as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a fresh-snow threshold, and you'll get a push the moment it crosses. Free with a Snoflo account.
