In case you hadn't noticed, a big winter storm has rolled through the Front Range. Denver got a little over 6 inches overnight, and some ski resorts got over a foot of snow in the last 24 hours.

A Major Winter Storm is impacting Colorado. Just about all of our member ski areas have picked up fresh snow.

Loveland Ski Area is closed today, but will reopen tomorrow at 8:30 am according to their Twitter feed. Copper Mountain put multiple slopes on a snow safety hold, and all of the lots at Eldora are full.

We apologize to those of you who were turned around today because our lots filled completely. We know itâ€™s frustrating, and we do our best to let guests in as soon as weâ€™re able. On these powder-frenzy days, the best bet is to arrive by 7 or after 1. Thank you for understanding.

Plus, westbound I-70 from Golden to the Eisenhower Tunnel is closed, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. CDOT said mountain travel is not advised, and alternate routes are not available.

Breckenridge and Keystone are open, with the exception of a few lifts on safety hold due to the wind, and the high alpine areas of Breck are closed.

With 19â€ of snow in 24 hrs & more falling we know everyone is anxious to get out on the mountain. Our patrollers are working hard in adverse weather on our high alpine terrain, & these areas have no estimated time of opening. Thank you for your patience! Weâ€™ll keep you posted!

"There's so much snow out there and I don't think it's going anywhere." said Loryn Roberson, communications manager for Keystone Resort. "For anyone from the front range who's making a plan to come up, you know, be patient, be safe. It's going to be an incredible weekend out there, no matter when you get up there, there'll be lots of snow for everyone."

You care.
