Record year in Colorado.
Summit County enters new year with lowest snowpack on record after unseasonably warm December that set records
A few storms heading toward Colorado’s mountains in the next week may help bolster the state’s scant snowpack, but another dry spell forecast for mid-January is expected to keep snow levels well below normal. Summit...

Cottonwood Canyons are climbing out of their hole with 40-44 inches so far in the New Year. It was a big hole, as still barely half of ski terrain is open; perhaps that will improve with control work. And less than half that much fell elsewhere in Utah with relatively high rain/snow line.
Colorado snowfall remains modest. A cursory check indicates only Steamboat has received as much as a foot of snow in the New Year.
Sierra and Utah are the winners of the New Year so far. Tetons got 2 feet, most areas farther north around a foot.
Storms continue in part of the Rockies the rest of this week. Then the forecasters say we get another dry spell.

I'd describe Colorado snowfall season to date as Pitiful. Crazy long stretches of warm air as well so far, so tons of even snowmaking trails are not open yet. Pretty easily the worst I've ever seen it in my 27 years here. I mean Abasin has like 9 'trails' open with no new terrain coming anytime soon at current pace of snowfalls. Eldora would normally be in a good place by comparison with tons of snowmaking everywhere, but they have not even been able to make snow for most of the winter. It's Bad Bad. Avoid at all costs for now and pray for Feb or March to be miracles IMO.
