After a week of nice, steady, consistent snow, Colorado’s mountains will see only scattered snow at the highest elevations today and tonight with the next chance for widespread snow moving in Saturday night into Sunday.
This morning’s road closure affecting skiers is Highway 65, which runs past Powderhorn in the Grand Mesa due to “adverse conditions,” likely blowing snow. The closure is both northbound and southbound between mile markers 28 and 35.
It appears you can make it to Powderhorn approaching from the north at I-70, but not from the south at Highway 82. If you’re going that way this morning, your best bet is to double check with the ski area, which you can link to in the snow report below.
