Classic spring skiing conditions will be prevalent across Colorado this weekend with balmy temperatures and only a couple of ski areas expected to receive any snow.
This is the kind of forecast that brings out skiers and riders in swimsuits or tank tops. Only the southern mountains have a chance of a few showers this weekend with minimal accumulations, according to OpenSnow meteorologist Joel Gratz.

WINTER PARK Nick Hulse figures he’s gotten in three dozen ski days this winter, and Saturday topped them all with nine inches of fresh powder at Winter Park to kick off a fluffy Presidents Day weekend.
“The best day I’ve had, for sure,” the Denver resident said while tailgating with five friends and no COVID-19 concerns at Winter Park’s Mary Jane base area as bratwurst sizzled on the grill. “It skis really deep. It’s super nice out there.”
