Colorado Snow
This was our first day of the 2013/2014 season and it was pretty great compared to prior years. While Rachel spent the day at ski school, I spent the day doing laps on the T-Bar. There is much more coverage and terrain available than I would’ve expected for this time of year. Though, it’s fairly […]
This Sunday was closing day at Beaver Creek, the last day of the season. We weren’t too excited for skiing the night before. On Saturday evening, around 8 PM it started raining… a lot. Rain and snow rarely mix so our expectations were pretty low for what the final day of skiing would bring. We […]
This Saturday at Beaver Creek started out great: the Bear Lot was only half-full by 10 AM and it was already quite Warm (upwards of 35, maybe 40 degrees). Everything except the runs at the Village are closed by now. Bachelor Gulch, Strawberry Park, Red Tail… all closed. It was fairly sad and gloomy to […]
This day was in the top 3 of the season. I was afraid all the snow was melting away based on my experiences the past weekend but: no. The last storm brought tons of fresh powder to Avon and Beaver Creek was amazing. We started out at Bachelor Gulch. Our pro-move is to head up […]

Clouds would pass to show the sun, then big winds and big flakes would show up. It was interesting weather. We spent some time checking out the lifts and runs we […]
It’s still spring here in Steamboat so we decided to go out at lunch to take advantage of the softer snow in the afternoon and avoid the morning crunch. After heading up the gondola we made our way over to Sunshine Peak to check out the “right side” of the hill. The temperatures were about […]
Spring has arrived in Steamboat! While they’ve received a decent amount of snow in March, the conditions are turning rapidly. Friday probably hit close to 50 F in the afternoon. Folks down at the base were in t-shirts and tank tops and the slush was thick. Compared to the morning, the afternoon was a soft, […]
Sunday at Arapahoe Basin was pretty great. Loveland Pass was closed in the morning so we detoured around through Keystone. When we arrived at 9 AM the lower lot was already full: pent up demand for 5 inches of fresh snow I suppose. We headed up BME while it was still a little cloudy (almost […]
