The forecast for today, March 11, calls for a general warming trend with partly cloudy to variably cloudy throughout the weekend. But it really should come as no surprise the Four Corners is getting snow. March and April are generally the snowiest months of the season. The snow is wetter and heavier than the normal light powder which falls earlier in the season. Nearly 100 hundred percent of the mountain is open with 65 of 66 trails skiable and all 12 lifts operating.
Skiing is rated as excellent on powder and packed powder.
Gold Hill has been opening later in the morning after the ski patrol completes avalanche control. March Millennium Madness is now under way at the resort, located about 65 miles north of Cortez. Wolf Creek Ski Area, located at the top of Wolf Creek Pass near Pagosa Springs, is another good place to ski right now. There is plenty of deep snow. Right now the ski area is a good bet for finding excellent snow conditions plus a wide variety of runs.
