19″ Storm Opens 4 Lifts at Wolf Creek

Pagosa Springs, CO – Colorado’s Wolf Creek Ski Area is in the powder.

An early November storm brought in 19 inches of snow, creating an all-natural base of 28 inches. The early part of the storm held a considerable amount of moisture, creating a good base; snow falling at the end of the cycle is light, creating an early season powder experience.  Snowfall so far this winter at Wolf Creek totals 44 inches.
