According to OpenSnow, a La Niña is likely for the 2024-25 ski season, which means snowier conditions are expected in Colorado. 

During the winter of 2023-2024, El Niño conditions were present, but it began to fade during the spring of 2024 and we have been in a neutral phase (meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña is present) during the summer of 2024. During the fall of 2024, La Niña conditions are expected to emerge with NOAA's model-based outlook projecting a 74% chance of La Niña conditions prevailing through the winter of 2024-2025. 

The term La Niña refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate phenomenon linked to periodic cooling in sea-surface temperatures across the central and east-central equatorial Pacific. La Niña represents the cool phase of the ENSO cycle and means that the ocean water temperatures are cooler than average.
