\u2014 Breckenridge Resort (@breckenridgemtn) February 23, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Breckenridge Ski Resort is the first ski area in Colorado to surpass 300 inches of total snowfall for the season. The total on the 5 a.m. report Sunday was just under the 300-inch mark, but the resort received more than a foot of fresh snow throughout the day Sunday, according to Breckenridge spokeswoman Nicole Stull. As of 5 a.m. Monday, the resort reported 311 inches of snow for the 2019-20 season. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would say this is definitely pretty early for us to surpass that 300-inch mark because our annual average is about 350 inches. We\u2019re on track for above average snowfall, and March can be one of our snowiest months,\u201d Breckenridge spokeswoman Sara Lococo said.<\/p>\n

Breckenridge broke its own February snowfall record Feb. 17 with 87 inches<\/a>. In March 2019, the resort recorded 117 inches of snow, according to data accumulated by OpenSnow<\/a>. Lococo said that if March and April are on track with average snowfall numbers, the resort will see quite the snow year. <\/p>\n

While Breckenridge and Steamboat Resort have been neck-and-neck for the season, Sunday\u2019s snow put Breckenridge over the edge. Steamboat recorded 296 inches of total season snowfall Monday morning. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is snowing lightly right now,\u201d Steamboat spokeswoman Loryn Duke said. \u201cWhere this stacks up is it\u2019s been a phenomenal February, but it\u2019s been a pretty common February.\u201d<\/p>\n

To put things in perspective, Duke said, this is Steamboat\u2019s ninth snowiest February on record. OpenSnow forecasts that the resort will receive an additional 7 inches by Friday, Feb. 28<\/a>, which would put Steamboat over the 300-inch mark by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe forecast looks light for this week, but it is supposed to snow, and every inch counts,\u201d Duke said.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service predicts continued snow in Summit County through Tuesday, Feb. 25, and then a chance of snow Thursday, Feb. 27.<\/p>\n

Todd Dankers, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said about 2-4 inches will fall Monday night in Summit County. Dankers added that a few quick-moving storm systems are predicted to make their way through the area Thursday and over the weekend, but only an inch or two of accumulation is expected. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe main snow is (Monday night). Then it\u2019s essentially dry through the end of the week,\u201d Dankers said.<\/p>\n
