Aspen Snowmass reported up to 8 inches in 24 hours as of Thursday morning across all four mountains — the highest snow totals of any Colorado ski resort following Wednesday night’s storm.

Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain and Beaver Creek Resort all received about 4 inches of fresh snow, according to OpenSnow, with Vail Mountain recording about 2 inches of fresh snow.

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and Keystone Resort, the only two ski resorts currently open in the state, along with Winter Park Resort each only received about 1 inch.



The snow hits just weeks before Opening Day at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass, which is slated for Nov. 26. Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk are scheduled to open on Dec. 12.

Snow falls on Nov. 4 around the brand new Nell Bell chairlift, which is debuting this winter, on Aspen Mountain.
