This is an entirely unsubstantiated observation, but it seems that in most years Colorado gets an early season dump before the Wasatch.  If this is true, I suspect is is a function of altitude and the great diversity of ranges that they have, which greatly increases the likelihood that somewhere in the state they will get something when a trough rumbles through.  

Have faith.  We always win in the end...
