What Colorado Springs's weather means for skate and surf shops
July averages a high of 87°F in Colorado Springs, so summer calls for light tees and caps, while the rest of the year swings between tee and hoodie weather. December averages a high of just 45°F, so winter sessions are short and cold, and a cuffed beanie is the easy add-on at the register. Fleece season is long, November to April at under a 65°F average high, so plan the hoodie and crewneck run as the year's biggest order and keep tees for May to September. A typical year brings about 33 inches of snow, so outdoor skating stops for stretches of winter; time a beanie and hoodie restock to land ahead of the first snowfall. Around 160 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so fleece stays on the rack from fall into spring, and a lined hoodie can be the premium piece in the house line.
