COLORADO – Several Colorado mountains woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning, September 5. As the Front Range endured some solid rain and thunder storms, the high peaks of Colorado were getting just a little bit lighter. Only a few mountains actually have confirmed the presence of snow near their summits, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t even more amped for ski season.

While no snow has actually been confirmed on Winter Park, a peak at their lunch rock live camera shows what looks a lot like snow in the distant mountains. Meanwhile, at Copper Mountain, snow has been confirmed on the mountain, with both live cams and social media showing as much.

Arapahoe Basin is among the ski areas that woke up with a nice shade of white on upper half of the mountain, with what looks like some seriously nice coverage near the top. Obviously, like every other ski area that received snow in Colorado last night, this is hardly a measurable amount, but doesn’t mean we aren’t amped.

Important to note, summer operations will continue until September 22 at Arapahoe Basin, despite the snow. Additionally, no other resort has as of yet decided to cancel any summer activities planned for the rest of the season, and we’d be pretty shocked if they did. Arapahoe Basin’s winter opening day is TBD but as soon as conditions allow. Copper Mountain currently has their opening day set for November 8, though skiing and snowboarding at their hike park is open for a few more days this upcoming weekend.

On the non-skiing side of things, Pikes Peak did receive a nice dusting last night, with the National Weather Service confirming fall like weather across southeast and south central Colorado today (not sure how I feel about that…).
