Colorado’s first of two April snowstorms brought much needed moisture to Colorado’s mountains, with some totals surpassing Monday’s forecasts.

The first storm, which lasted from Tuesday evening through Wednesday night, delivered 1-2 feet of snow to the southern and central mountains. Although the northern mountains saw a more modest 1-5 inches of snow, mountains in Aspen, Vail and Steamboat are forecast to be favored during a second, colder storm beginning Thursday night.

Tuesday and Wednesday’s storm performed better than expected in some areas, according to a Thursday OpenSnow report. Mountain towns below 8,000-9,000 feet saw mostly rain, while higher-elevation regions saw denser snow quality.

Crested Butte and Irwin saw the deepest snow totals in the central mountains, wrapping up the two-day storm at 22 and 24 inches, respectively. Crested Butte’s snow total landed roughly 6 inches above the high end of the forecast.

Here’s how much snow was recorded by northern and central mountain resorts over the two days:

Crested Butte: 22 inches
Snowmass: 12 inches
Aspen Mountain: 9 inches
Sunlight: 5 inches
Copper Mountain: 4.5 inches
Loveland Ski Area: 3.5 inches
Breckenridge Ski Resort: 3.5 inches
Keystone Resort: 3.5 inches
Vail Mountain: 3 inches
Steamboat Resort: 3 inches
Winter Park: 3 inches
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area: 3 inches

The second storm, moving into the northern mountains from Thursday night through Friday, is forecast to bring 5-10 inches to some northern mountains. The intense snow will begin around sunset and bring colder temperatures than the previous storm, reaching 10-15 degrees on mountain peaks by Friday morning.

According to OpenSnow, most forecast models show that snowfall is likely to taper off from west to east, meaning western resorts like Steamboat, Vail and Aspen area are likely to see among the highest snow totals.

Although the intense snow will likely end by Friday morning, snow showers could continue into Friday night for the northern mountains.

Looking ahead, Easter weekend will once again bring sunny weather to the Western Slope. The next chance for showers will be around April 9-14, according to OpenSnow forecasts.

The report also lists several ski resorts that are scheduled to close on Easter Sunday: Crested Butte, Keystone, Snowmass, Steamboat, Telluride and Wolf Creek.
