Colorado Braces for Major Snowstorm with Up to 60 Inches Expected

A significant snowstorm is forecasted to impact Colorado's mountains this weekend, potentially bringing record snowfall to several regions.

Southwestern Colorado's San Juan Mountains could see between 1 and 3 feet of snow from Friday to Sunday, with some areas potentially receiving up to 60 inches.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for large areas, including Wolf Creek Pass and the La Garita Mountains, effective from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon.
Central Colorado, including Park and Summit counties, is expected to receive 4 to 13 inches of snow, with higher elevations seeing the most accumulation.
Although Denver might experience a light dusting, significant snowfall is unlikely in the metro area, marking a delayed start to the city's snow season.
Forecasters suggest another chance of snow between October 26 and 31, which could aid early openings for ski resorts in southwestern Colorado.
