Alright, who's chasing snowliage in the San Juans this week?
It sounds like there'll be some overlap between peak color and fresh snow.
Other story is the potential for a big early season mountain snow Tue-Wed. While mainly for higher elevations (10-11k+), models in good agreement (below).
Exact temps will be key. I'm still a big skeptical of I-70 totals, but San Juans appear in line for a big early snow.
