Snow depths in Colorado are currently off the charts.

Some areas currently have over 6 feet of snow on the ground, which is a record amount for this time of year.

As a result of all this snow, many roads are experiencing delayed openings for the summer season.

Wolf Creek Ski Area still has 94โ€ณ of snow on the ground up top.

If youโ€™re looking for backcountry skiing options, Colorado should have you covered through the summer.

Thanks to Chris Tomer for compiling these numbers.
