Ski the Powder in Colorado's RockiesSummer is wrapping up and the snow predictions are in for this upcoming winter. Plenty of powder days are in the forecast! We've gathered the data to help you plan your ski season around the best chance for making turn in the deep - in the renowned "trees" in Steamboat, legendary Back Bowls in Vail, the steeps of Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek, and the high alpine bliss of Peak 6 in Breckenridge. Check out which months see the most snow days at each of our resorts: Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Steamboat and Vail. 

By resort, here's the average number of days per month that see fresh snow. Visiting the Colorado Rockies is always a good bet. With sunshine 300+ days per year, plus this number of snowfall days...You're bound to land on a bluebird powder day!

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT FRESH POWDER? 

Fresh pow pow! It's a dream come true. A fresh blanket of snow on the trails. It is much softer to ski/snowboard on fresh powder and you'll feel like you're floating down the mountain. Powder is both fun and forgiving!

Light and fluffy, powder snow is the absolute best in the Colorado Rockies due to its low moisture content. Steamboat has even trademarked its Champagne Powder®. (Here are some other fun terms for snow.)
