Colorado Snow
It was a fun day up in Summit County. It’s early season so there’s no traffic, Dillon seems still quieter than usual and the lifties won’t let you on until 9 AM. We used our first day as a dry run to work out all the kinks: adding the ski rack on the roof, making […]
Copper Mountain opened to a great crowd this season on November 4th. Just down the road, Keystone also launched the 2011 year with new EpicMix photos. Be sure to look for the green suits for your own free professional photos. [geolocation]

Check out the photos above (you can use left/right arrows to navigate) from all over Colorado.

As expected, it’s not quite up to “5-8 inches” as expected… yet. There is certainly more to the storm but the forecasts now expect “snow mist” and “snow dusting” from here on out.

We’ve found pictures from Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, Winter Park and Breckenridge all showing hints of snow. Here we are just days after the Labor Day weekend and snow is already on the mind. We’re hoping to see much more very soon. In just a few weeks Loveland and Arapahoe Basin will likely begin making snow […]
Before heading up for the first time, I always recommend waxing your skis or board. Surprisingly, most people I talk to don’t do any waxing despite it being a quick 30 minute ordeal. Waxing is important because it adds a layer of protection between the ski surface and the snow. Plus, if you don’t wax your skis you’ll see an amazing improvement in speed and performance next time you head out.
