Forecasters said the light snow will drop between a dusting and 5 inches of snow on mountain passes above 10,000 feet.
The most snow is forecast for Buffalo Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass, two mountain passes near Steamboat Springs that are expected to see up to 5 inches accumulate Friday, according to NWS snow forecasts.
Colorado ski areas, including Loveland and Keystone, are forecast to see between 1 and 3 inches of snow Friday.
