DENVER – If you’re planning on hitting I-70 for a trip to one of Colorado’s ski resorts this weekend, be advised heavy snow and high winds could potentially make for treacherous travel conditions, especially Saturday morning.

A winter storm warning will go into effect Friday evening at 11 p.m. through at least 11 p.m. Saturday.

“The snow picks up in intensity Friday night into Saturday morning, so that Saturday morning drive up into the mountains is likely going to get really tricky early,” said Denver7 chief meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo. “For the eastern plains, we’re mainly going to see dry conditions but may see a spotty shower Saturday.”

Hidalgo said from 1 to near 2 feet of snow is possible by midday Sunday in some areas of the mountains with the heaviest of snow likely to fall Frid
