Colorado Snow
Another weekday powder day for this lucky stay-at-home dad meant fresh tracks all morning! This Friday in the mountains started as they usually do: attempting to park at Winter Park’s Bench Lot, finding that I was just about 5 minutes late to getting a spot, then turning around to park in the lower lot and […]
Finally! A true powder day with more than just rocks and grass beneath the fresh stuff! This was the best day I’ve had all season (I know, it’s only my 5th) and I know this day and the days after have been the best for everyone else, too. We finally had a sustainable base, around […]
The big snow storm before the weekend started on Wednesday afternoon and didn’t stop until later on Thursday. We waited to go out until after lunch on Wednesday. I figured with snow in the forecast, we might as well ski in it, not before it! Our patience paid off and right around lunch the big […]
An early start to a weekday after a powder day meant quiet, empty groomers and plenty of room to fly down the hill. On Monday we decided to get out early-ish and see what a weekday day after a powder day looked like. It was great! No lines and untouched groomers everywhere. I went out […]
What a difference a snow storm makes! The night before Sunday our snow prayers were answered and Winter Park received 6 inches of new snow. We headed to Winter Park after lunch and found a close-up spot in the bench lot (that you can walk into the village from). There was no line at Zephyr […]

Happy New Year! We had a beautiful blue-sky Sunday at Winter Park and it felt like we had it all to ourselves. We started the New Year’s morning leaving Denver around 6:45 AM and saw no snow on the road nor traffic in front of us. The drive was smooth and we were up and […]
My first day of the season was one of the best days I’ve had in the past few years. We left Denver just before 6:00 AM and the snow from the night before left all the side streets in a mess. The main roads were plowed but what used to be 4 lanes turned into […]
