Many of Colorado’s ski areas received more snow overnight, with some resorts reporting more than two feet of snow covering the high peaks and more snow on the way for this weekend.
Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Vail said they have received more than two feet of snow in the past 48 hours, far more than the usual dusting they get at this time of year.
Loveland, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin have begun snowmaking operations to take advantage of the weather, according to the Colorado Ski Country USA trade group.
Silverton Mountain had received more than a foot of snow as of Thursday.
