Colorado Snow
There hasn’t been new snow in Summit County in quite a while so our expectations were low on Sunday. What we found at Breckenridge was what we’d expect anywhere: so-so conditions with some crowds. We started around 10:30 at Peak 7 which had a bunch of folks in line. Luckily the 6-seater is pretty speedy. […]
We discovered that a couple of items on the menu (burgers, chili cheese fries) at Red Tail Camp are at least a dollar cheaper than at the Spruce Saddle Lodge. If you’re willing to bear the outdoor elements and the uncertainty of food availability (the fryer can sometimes “freeze”), you can save a buck or […]
Our first ski day of 2013 was on New Year’s Day at Beaver Creek which means we earned the “Resolved” EpicMix pin — whoop! There hadn’t been any new snow in a few days and it was a holiday weekend so most everything was skied off or still bare underneath. Most mogul runs had grass […]
Last week, both Rachel and I had the privilege of visiting The Barn at Woodward at Copper to learn more about the facilities and programs Woodward has to offer here in Colorado. For those that don’t know: over three years ago, the Barn was constructed to house an indoor, year-round training facility for pros to […]
Beaver Creek looked good yesterday: blue skies, great temperatures, soft snow, and new terrain.

There was plenty of deep, soft powder but it was clear that there wasn’t much underneath it. […]
Happy Opening Day to Ski Cooper! Here’s hoping you see even more snow soon.
The weather and snow turned out to be pretty nice yesterday afternoon. The skies were blue, the sun was out, and after it warmed up (it was -14 degrees in the morning) we started another half-day at Breckenridge around 1:30. Peak 7 was open for the first time so we intended to head over there. […]
It’s going to be a big weekend. More terrain opening up everywhere. Breckenridge opens T-Bar. Vail opens back bowls. Enjoy it!
