There was supposed to be snow today, but it ended up being warm and cloud covered. Town is very busy with tourists from all over. We will hope for more snow tomorrow and this week.

Busy in Town, Quiet Snow Day
Saturday, February 27th, 2010Official Snow Numbers
Friday, February 26th, 2010The numbers don’t agree with what skiers are saying about the skiing today. The official numbers are: Breckenridge 5 in, Keystone 4 in, A-Basin 4 in, and Copper Mtn 2 in. These seem a little off considering that we had at least that much in my driveway. Word around town is that it was one of the best ski days of the year. It is bright and sunny right now, but the weather report is calling for snow for the next two days! Let’s keep praying for snow.
More Snow!
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Today was a great day for snow! We were only supposed to get 2-4 in, but we got much more than that. We’ll wait until the morning to get the official numbers, but the top of the mountain should be awesome! Play hooky and get some skiing in tomorrow.
The snow storms open up more terrain
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Since Summit County has seen new snow for the last 10 days many of the resorts are now opening up new areas. Arapahoe Basin is now opening 200 acres in Montezuma Bowl. Keystone has now opened much of its hike to terrain. Copper Mountain has opened up access to the West Ridge of Copper Bowl. Lastly, Breckenridge is now 100 percent open!
