Colorado Snow
This Sunday was the end of the regular season for most of the remaining resorts in Colorado. Breckenridge’s last day, except for it’s final two weekends, was yesterday and we were gifted 8-inches of fresh new snow. We haven’t seen this much snow at once in months. The new snow was great and we found […]
Spending Easter morning at Breckenridge was a great spring activity. We started by waking up at 5:30 AM to head over to Ten Mile Station and attend the Sunrise Service. The near-full moon lit the chair ride up Peak 9. By 6:30 the sun crested over the continental divide and it seemed like we had […]
It’s spring skiing in the Rockies and that means no traffic, no crowds and wonderful weather. We arrived at Breck around 9:30 and the airport lot had no more than two dozen cars. Once we hit Peak 7 we noticed something I haven’t seen in months: no lift line. We were able to get in […]
Not much to report after the beautiful bluebird day at Beaver Creek. It’s a tale of duality: the snow was both soft and hard we had temperatures from cold (beer) to hot (sun) sometimes we had an entire run to ourselves, but a standing-room only crowd on the patio Overall it was a fun day […]
It was an ideal Saturday on the slopes. A-Basin saw 8 inches, Keystone saw 4, Vail had 10. We picked Keystone since we hadn’t been in a while and wanted to give the Outback a second chance. Good thing we did. The difference a month will make. The Outback at Keystone had plenty of fresh […]
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 […]
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 […]
