The Boulder County ski area received 46 inches over two days.
A Boulder County road grader got stuck while plowing the access road to Eldora ski area, complicating efforts to get the area reopened after Thursday’s snow-related closure. Eldora received 46 inches in a two-day period. Officials at Eldora ski area are calling the storm that closed the area on Thursday the biggest snow event they’ve seen in decades, adding it’s unlikely the area will be able to open Friday.
“The grader was clearing Shelf Road near Peterson Lake and pitched off the side, down the bank toward the lake, but did not go into the lake,” Eldora spokesman Sam Bass said in an email with a photo to The Denver Post. “While the road visible in the photo looks relatively clear — this is where the grader had been working — the rest of Shelf Road has been drifting and sliding all night with multiple small avalanches across the road throughout its length.
Echo Mountain, which also was unable to open Thursday, received 45 inches in two days. Officials there say it remains to be determined whether the area can open on Friday.“Please DO NOT attempt to drive to Echo until you hear from us about our plan moving forward,” said an update on Echo’s website. “Access along CO-103 is incredibly difficult, and more stuck cars longer delays in plowing and clearing the road.”Loveland and A-Basin, which were both closed on Thursday, reopened on Friday.
