Hey, more than a year later I can revive this thread with Colo 2019 season info.
Didn't even consider posting this earlier due to the ongoing winter snows in Colo throughout May. And both the Basin and Breck have extended to opening several weekends in June do to the snowpack. Looking much more summery here finally so it will be interesting to see how long the snow holds up (eg will Abasin get to July?).
First up my local river basin but also represents Loveland & ABasin best. Due to many SW flow events which are bad for Eldora, it had an exactly average snow year (236" vs normal of 230" - ignore their marketing 300" number). Divide areas had a bit better due to altitude scraping some snow out of those SW flow events. Note that SWE was never below normal and current is at 86% of normal peak though... very late in the snow season for that %.
Colorado basin which best shows the big resorts (Breck, Keystone, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek) was very similar though with a slightly better peak and slightly faster melt.
SW Colorado had a very good season once past about mid-January which was desperately needed after last years disaster. In fact they are still nearly at the normal peak snowpack even now. Going to be some cold 'summer' camping for another month at least.
Also have to love the huge %'s by this time of year in the Westwide Snotel map. In most cases a reflection of snows that are usually nearly melted by now vs this years cold spring. Though also informative on the mediocre snowfalls in the PNW and northern part of the Rockies.
