  1. Freshy Map is a great way to visualize snow

    Freshy Map shows snow at Vail

    Whoa, Freshy Map, where have you been all this time? Here’s a straight-forward concept: show a full-screen map with the weather overlaid. Then add simple metrics for each resort, add some prediction logic, graphs, and boom, you’ve got the ability to figure out where the snow is (and will be). I’ll keep playing with this…

  2. Noodles & Co. Grown Up Mac hits the spot

    I had the chance to try out the Bacon Mac & Cheese at Noodles & Co. for free the other day. I’ll be honest, I’ve always been a big fan of every plate at Noodles but this is no ordinary mac: it’s essentially a bacon cheeseburger in pasta form and, well, what’s not to like…

  3. Is anyone headed to #SIA in Denver this weekend? I’m trying to find good reasons to hang out indoors and coming up short… no offense, exhibitors.

  4. Beaver Creek (1/22/12)

    Waking up on Sunday morning in Silverthorne lead me to see the best thing I’ve seen all season: nearly a foot of new snow. We figured traffic would be light with everyone taking it easy on the highway. Boy were we wrong. We arrived in Avon around 9:30 and people were parked on every side…

  5. Breckenridge (1/21/12)

    We had a great Saturday at Breckenridge. The T-Bar had only been open for a few days so we took the opportunity to milk it as much as possible. As expected, the snow was crusty at the top and we found all kinds of rocks and goodies. But… once you get down to the trees…

  6. Foot of snow forecasted for Saturday night by OpenSnow →

    Joel is a good meteorologist. The last forecast I followed called for the bulk of the snow to fall at 2:00 PM and, well, it was spot on. So, I’m hoping the track record continues this weekend and we see 12 inches fall along the I-70 corridor. Fingers crossed.

  7. All the recent snow means Vail has opened up some of Sun Up Bowl and China Bowl today. Portions of Blue Sky Basin open tomorrow. It’s going to be a good weekend!
