After a relatively dry spring for much of Colorado, a storm is finally on its way to Colorado and as of today, NOAA is forecasting Steamboat Ski & Resort to get up to 18″ by Tuesday!

That comes as great news for the Colorado, whose season started strong and seriously tapered off in mid February. As of right now Colorado is below their Snow Water Equivalent Media for this time of year and the following snowstorm should do wonders for a spring snowpack in the high country of Colorado.
