Colorado Snow
We started Saturday morning around 9 AM at the Breckenridge Transportation Center. As the bus pulled up we saw the gondola line (to Peak 7 and 8): it stretched all the way to the bus’s doors and the number of people in the way and milling about made us anxious. So, we opted to jump […]
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. […]
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 […]
Beaver Creek looked good yesterday: blue skies, great temperatures, soft snow, and new terrain. Lucky for us, Larkspur opened for the season and we were able to grab a handful of powder turns, so we headed there early. There was plenty of deep, soft powder but it was clear that there wasn’t much underneath it. […]
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. […]
We decided to spend the morning at the house (reading, making fried egg sandwiches, drinking hot chocolate) and just let the snow keep falling at Breckenridge. The big storm expected did not come overnight and we didn’t start seeing snow come until 5 AM. Once lunchtime came around the snow had stopped there was plenty […]
The snow continued to come down Tuesday morning in Breckenridge, they reported 12 inches of snow, 6 of which fell overnight after the resort closed. We didn’t get on the mountain until 10:30 but there was still plenty of fun, soft runs to be had. The lines were a bit longer at the Colorado and […]
What a great start to the season! The powder yesterday at Breckenridge was better than a lot of snow we saw all last year… and there’s only more to come this week! We had the typical first day of the season “Vail Resorts pass delays”. If its your first day up, plan for a little […]
