What December feels like
December brings the snow back in quantity and the mountains open in earnest around mid-month. It's also the greyest stretch of the year, with more days of falling weather than any other month, so the bright cold snap between storms feels like a gift.
Winter is doing its thing: 19.5 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 12 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
