La Niña’s effects on Southern Rockies snow…

Posted by on December 20, 2010

Christmas at Durango Mountain Resort

In Durango, we woke up up to 8 inches of snow over the weekend and the forecasters say it’s supposed to keep dumping all week long!  So far, Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort has received over 6 inches in the last 24 hours and over 11 inches in the last 48 hours!   While La Niña has left us a bit drier than normal, you can rest assured that the snow is only a matter of “when,” not “if” in the Southern Rockies!   Right now, we are looking at snow for pretty much the entire next week in the Durango Mountain Resort area forecast  and we are all looking forward to a white Christmas! 

Most of Colorado is expected to enjoy average to a bit below average snow this year due to the cooling of oceanic temperatures but, for the most part, expectations for Colorado snow remain optimistic.  Of course, we are no scientists – just powder-hounds that enjoy the fruits of snowstorms, we found a good article to help understand how we expect La Niña to impact Colorado.

Regardless of La Niña, no matter where the snow falls this year, we can help you build your own ski package to ensure that you can make great tracks! Call or click to build your package today!

  1. La Nin..What!?
    We live in a snow town and we know that we are going to get great powder. However, there are still those days when you wake up and sit back in awe at the crazy amounts of powder we can get in 24 hours…

    Today we wake up and see that we have gotten 20 new inches of snow at Durango Mountain Resort. Even as all of us complain that our backs are aching from all of the shoveling, we are still very excited about all of the great powder which is sure to make for one of the best ski vacations you have ever had!
