The snow report at Loveland Ski Area looks pretty nice right now. Loveland graphic.
Over the past 72 hours, A-Basin has received 16" of new snow, with Winter Park getting 12", and Breckenridge with a solid 15".
While the seasonal totals at Loveland, Breck, and Winter Park might not have reached the 500" benchmark, they've been blessed with several season-extending spring storms. The seasons, they are a-changing in most of the country, but winter is keeping a firm grasp on Colorado's highlands.
