If you live in Denver or along the foothills, the concept of a snowstorm probably feels like a distant dream. It’s been 60°+ and sunny just about every day for the past few weeks. Fortunately for the snow lovers of the state, the warmth in the city hasn’t managed to plague the mountains, as temperatures at the ski resorts are staying cool.
A recent snowstorm brought some much needed snow to several ski resorts throughout the state, with most getting around half a foot of snow in a 24 hour time span. Some ski areas managed to do a bit better, stretching up to the foot range. Here are the 5 biggest winners from the recent snowfall in Colorado.
