Dry weather is currently expected across the state of Colorado through Friday, November 13, according to a local news report. During this current dry period, various mountain towns across the region are facing forecast highs reaching around the mid-50s. Despite the dry weather conditions, Western Colorado snowpack is currently sitting at 99 percent of normal, as detailed by Kris Sanders in information obtained by a local news report.
Addressing these seasonal weather patterns, Kris Sanders told a local news report, "Through November, you can have wet periods, and you can have dry periods, so I wouldn’t say this is out of the ordinary." Looking ahead to the coming days, Sanders additionally told a local news report, "We are expecting precipitation chances to increase starting this weekend and going into next week. If we do get that precipitation, it would put us above normal at least for the month."
Beyond the ongoing weather and snowpack updates, winter recreation activities are officially getting underway. A local news report notes that four Colorado ski resorts have already opened for the 2026-27 season. Furthermore, municipal matters continue to move forward in the mountain communities, where the Snowmass Town Council is currently reviewing a Ritz-Carlton development proposal, according to a local news report.
