Below is the link to the daily custom weather forecasts from Copper Mountain Resort. Hopefully, this will help you in your planning.

Regardless of what you see here, those in the know will tell you that:

• Always have at least a light jacket with you, day or night
• It helps to have a sweatshirt too, esp for evenings
• A hat and sunglasses are SOP in Colorado
• As is sunscreen
• And plenty of fluids, esp H2O
• At altitude (IE Nekkid on Mt Evans) depending on the wind, sometimes light gloves are in order. Seriously.

Please enjoy the show. Rarely will you see rain or showers. Don't be surprised by a small summer snowstorm, however. They happen.

See you at MITM.

Copper Mountain Resort Weather Forecast

Link to Copper Mountain weather forecast fixed.

I wouldn't say that it rarely rains, but the mountain showers are usually short, to the point of taking you by surprise then back to sunny and clear in minutes, which means be prepared for anything (wet, cold, dry, hot).

Thanks for posting a few days ago the directions to the Western Dragon . My navigator is a native of Denver and he did not know about this scenic drive. I will be driving from Tucson a couple of days before MITM to visit with Rays' (navigator) parents then heading up to Copper mtn. I will be trying out the minifini cargo hold link, I will try not to load too much on it.
It looks like the temperature will be a lot cooler then in Tucson and I will be able to drive with the top down on my orange convertible during the day! Hopefully this post has made it to the forum since this is my first time on the forum. I do not know where my last reply went!

I don't know if the weather pattern is going to change much by next week, but we've been having a "monsoonal" flow for the past week and a half in the central mountains. Generally this means cooler weather and afternoon rain storms. The rain doesn't last too long, (maybe an hour, and usually not very hard) but it's rained in Aspen part of the day for nearly two weeks now. Not saying it won't be nice weather, just be prepared.

The long range forecast from the experts (right) shows a bit of warming to the low 70's during the day, and still chances for precip. We have recommended from the beginning that MITM attendees equip themselves with a light jacket and a sweatshirt so as to be prepared.

Nothing like info from the local guides. Thanks, please keep us updated.

All the better to see the weather.

Remember, nights at Copper have been in the 50s this week, forecast for the 60s next week.

Bring that jacket and sweatshirt...you will need them.

Enjoy the break from the dastardly California and East Coast heat....
