U.S. Ski Team heads home to train at Vail.
Vail and Beaver Creek will get a serious natural boost this week. It also seems that the temperatures will remain cold to keep everything Mother nature and the guns throw down
Next week, Vail’s Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety, who also won races in Soelden, Austria last week will likely be training at Vail’s Golden Peak Fall Training Arena. World Cup racers will train slalom and giant slalom there at least until the next World Cup races.
“They're all flying home now and will be on snow as early as possible in Colorado,” U.S. Ski Team chief press officer Doug Haney said today via email. “Likely Nov. 2 will be day one at Vail, and Copper is still in flux.”
A STRONG WINTER-LIKE STORM WILL MOVE THROUGH COLORADO BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM WILL SWEEP SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT REACHING COLORADO BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. MILD TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN SNOW BEING CONFINED TO ELEVATIONS ABOVE 9000 FEET INITIALLY. HOWEVER...A MUCH COLDER AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT CAUSING THE SNOW LEVEL TO LOWER TO MOUNTAIN BASES SHORTLY AFTER ITS PASSAGE. PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL APPROACH NEAR ONE FOOT ON THE HIGHEST ELEVATION ON WEST FACING SLOPES OR NEAR MOUNTAIN PASSES.
