Saturday was a great day to be on the mountain: perfect temperatures, not too crowded, and some decent “early season” conditions. Rachel…
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…
We took a bit of a break and hadn’t been up for nearly a month due to work, holidays, sickness and.. well, the fact there has been absolutely…
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…
If you’re looking for another convenient bus in the Denver metro area to get up to Loveland, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin: check out the Front Range Ski Bus. With pickup locations at Sports Authority (Arapahoe and I-25), Union Station, and the Wooly Mammoth lot and trips every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday this might be…
I’m guessing that wasn’t supposed to turn out quite like that…
Vail is reporting 11 inches in 24 hours. Not a bad little Friday to play hooky…
“Pizza. French Fries.”
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…
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.
Check out Scott’s moves in “Defenders of Awesome”. I’ve never seen so many tricks where one foot isn’t strapped in..
It’s always a sight to see walking around downtown Breckenridge and seeing the snow piles and sculptures but these… these sculptures are world class. Be sure to check them out this week(end).
Found via TechCrunch, here’s an app that will wake you up earlier than your alarm is scheduled if there is new snow. I should’ve used this last week.
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…
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…
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.
Our thoughts and condolences to Sarah Burke’s family and friends.
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!
Lots of new snow since yesterday! Double digit highlights: Vail, Aspen, Buttermilk, Crested Butte, Steamboat, Wolf Creek.
The snow is still coming down all over (the hills). Check back tomorrow for numbers…
No new snow but looking like a nice weekend. Who is heading up this morning?
Yesterday’s storm left a light dusting across the resorts with anywhere from 1-3″ of new snow. We’ll take it! Let’s hope this keeps up…
After the storm rolled through on Saturday and overnight, all the resorts around I-70 had a good 5-9 inches reported. The keyword is reported because in I had a hard time finding the 5 inches we were hoping for for at Breckenridge (and we were on Peak 10 by 9:15 PM, it didn’t all melt…
We took a bit of a break and hadn’t been up for nearly a month due to work, holidays, sickness and.. well, the fact there has been absolutely no new snow along the I-70 corridor (Vail, Beaver Creek, Summit County). We decided to make a weekend out of it and headed up to Keystone on…
Infographics are all the rage these days. What better way than to inform, show interesting facts, and make some pretty graphs in the process? The folks at Credit Donkey pointed me towards their guide to buying a winter jacket and I was surprised, it’s really well done. There’s everything from windchill to how various types…
From The Denver Exploratory Committee’s release: The opportunity to pursue the Games is an endeavor worth taking very seriously,” Hickenlooper said. “We’ve asked this exploratory committee to explore all issues relevant to Denver potentially submitting a bid to the USOC. Those issues include making certain any bid would be financially sound and will help economic…
Read a bit more from the Colorado Department of Transportation on the “harmonization” that will begin on Sunday. In short: officers will pace cars from before the tunnel all the way to US 6 near Floyd Hill to help maintain consistent, safe speeds.
Kudos to Joel over at OpenSnow for launching an iPhone app. If you want to see photographic, on-the-slopes, evidence of new snow in Colorado, this is the place to check. Be sure to sign up for the powder alerts so you know when the inches start coming down.
