A crisp morning greets skiers at Conquistador Ski Resort with overnight lows settling at 20.5°F, preserving a solid snowpack of 37 inches. While this sits below the seasonal average, the mountain remains in good shape for carving turns. The trails are firm but edgeable, perfect for those who enjoy fast, groomed runs. A dusting of fresh snow—just under half an inch—is expected over the next 72 hours, which should provide a light refresh to existing conditions.

In local news, conversations about Colorado’s lost ski areas continue to swirl, with nearby resorts like Cuchara seeing renewed interest in revival efforts. While Conquistador remains operational, its place in Colorado’s ski history is a reminder of the delicate balance small resorts must maintain. For now, the lifts are spinning, and with moderate temperatures and well-maintained terrain, it's a great time to get out and enjoy some classic Colorado skiing.
