Colorado's Snowiest April Towns
The ski resorts in Colorado's snowiest towns love the extra April snowfall, but ski towns are not the only places where winter comes and goes every couple of days. Colorado's snowiest April town averages 46 inches of snow by the time the calendar reaches the year's fourth month.
Number of Snowy Days
Would you rather have several days with snowfall or just one or two days with a lot of snow at once? Towns such as Climax and Breckenridge average 11 to 13 days of snowfall every April. Towns such as Telluride, Crested Butte, and Silverton average 8 to 10 days of snowfall each April. By comparison, Mesa County averages 4 days of snowfall each April.
The Snowiest April Ever
Colorado's snowiest April ever happened in 1921. Silver Lake, Colorado, got 87 inches of snow from April 14th to 15th. While some are skeptical that a weather event like this was meteorologically possible, it's still regarded as Colorado's snowiest April event of all time. It's also accepted as the highest recorded snowfall total in the United States.
