Knowing Where the Snow Is

Categories: Snow
Written By: Nicole

Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes I like to know what other parts of the country or world are getting snow so that I can be appropriately jealous (or happily smug about Colorado totals).

Recently I found the Powder Points snow report, which makes this easy by listing all snow totals in one aggregated list. How else would I know that Bjorli, Norway has been pounded with 2 feet of snow in the last 72 hours? It’s also great to see Colorado resorts filling out quite a few of the top slots because of the latest snow.

Now to plan a trip to Norway…

  1. That’s cool, but Facebook has a plug-in that does the same thing, and I’m on there every day anyways.

  2. Yeah I’m on there all the time, too. Which one do you use, Mike?

  3. @Mike – I’d be interested in knowing which one you use. I have the Snow Reports and Snow Day Counter plug-ins, but for the snow report one I have to select which resorts I want to get info about. That’s handy as well, but, in that case, I have to know what I’m looking for. I like the Powder Points report because it just lists the top snow totals without me having to do anything.

  4. @Self — Click through the link on the plugin and see that it lists the top new snow totals for the last 24 hours.

  5. The snow is comin to Wolf Creek. If you have any way to get down there Sunday will be incredible. NOAA estimating 2-4′. I wanna see Wolf Creek on your resort list.

    Hey, thanks for stopping by Gabe. I’ll look at getting Wolf Creek added. I’ve been watching the Wolf Creek snow total with awe the last two days. I really should have made it up to the mountains this weekend!

There are a ton of parties, events, and concerts coming to Denver this week as the snowsports industry descends on Denver, Colorado. The 2010 SIA Snow Show trade expo will be taking over downtown. Even if you’re not attending the show, you should be downtown this week as there will be plenty of fun to be had. Check out the Apres Ski website for the comprehensive list of events: http://www.denver.org/apresski/home.aspx

I’ll be downtown all week at various parties and events. If you’re around and would like to meet up, feel free to follow Colorado Snow on twitter or send an email to devin@cosnow.com.

Here we are half-way through January 2010 and most of Colorado’s most popular resorts are at 20-30″ bases. Most resorts don’t have enough snow to open up expert (non-man-made snow) terrain such as the Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin. So, it’s with even one or two inches that we get excited. It’s not much to get excited for, but it’s something. Given the state of things, every little bit helps. Joel Gratz has more information on the wave of storms moving through Colorado this week. Expect some good snow by this weekend!

Congratulations to Lindsey Vonn, alpine ski racer, U.S. Ski Team member, and Vail celebrity. The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame named her the 2009 Athlete of the Year. This year she re-claimed the overall World Cup champion title and became the first American woman to win the world Super-G title. You can follow Lindsey on her blog at lindseyvonn.com, and is active on twitter at @lindseyvonn.

If you hadn’t heard, Arapahoe Basin is losing it’s “hard core” exterior and becoming “resortized” by Vail Resorts. With the parking upgrades and Montezuma Bowl lift, it’s hard to argue the resort isn’t trying to stay competitive with the major resorts. So, this summer A-Basin will be adding a high-speed quad lift to replace Exhibition at the bottom of the mountain. Suggestions for the name of the lift are being accepted at alanh@a-basin.net with the winner reciving a 2010-11 Arapahoe Basin Season Pass or $300 gift certificate to Arapahoe Sports. (via DenverPost)

It’s going to be a busy weekend January 28 – January 31, not only with the SIA Snow Show be in Denver, but the Winter X Games will be in Aspen. Winter X Games 14 will be broadcast on ESPN and online coverage can be found on their Snowboarding blog and Freeskiing blog.

If you’re a Vail Resorts season pass holder (Summit Pass, Colorado Pass, Epic Pass), keep in mind you have 6 “Ski With A Friend” passes to use this season. This entitles you to discounted lift tickets at the window. We recently visited Beaver Creek where a $97 adult ticket became $65 with the discount. For pricing details (as it varies during the season) visit snow.com or call 888-215-3867.

Updated: As Nicole pointed out, ‘buddy passes’ are different than ‘ski with a friend’ passes and prices are posted online. Thanks!
