that dumped 46 inches of snow and triggered multiple avalanches A Colorado ski resort has been forced to close after experiencing 'the biggest snow event in decades.'
Eldora received 46 inches of snow over two days leading to the closure of the popular ski area on Thursday.
Overall, four mountains were closed to snow sports because they were inaccessible after an upslope spring storm dumped several feet of snow across the Front Range.
A six-wheel John Deere grader veered off the road and got stuck in a snow drift while trying to clear a path for traffic, which made reopening the road more difficult, officials said.
'The grader was clearing Shelf Road near Peterson Lake and pitched off the side, down the bank toward the lake, but did not go into the lake,' Eldora spokesman Sam Bass told the Denver Post.
