Colorado SnowMy name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts).
I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.
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?

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.
There is no doubt in my mind that the place to be this weekend is Breckenridge. Just take a look at everything going on. It’s bound to be a great time. Happy Birthday, Breckenridge!
Also exciting: Mary Jane is now open at Winter Park for the 2011/2012 season starting today (December 16). Super Gauge Express, Galloping Goose and Pony Express will be running.
