It’s Dumping Snow
It’s dumping snow in the Colorado Rockies!!! My skis are in the shop getting a tune. I’m already thinking about how early I have to wake up on Saturday morning to beat the traffic. I have set plans to ski in a 4-some at Beaver Creek on Saturday. I can’t wait. The snow keeps on coming. Right now, Beaver Creek is reporting another 5 inches of new POW POW!!! That’s 31 inches in 7 days. Vail reports 36 inches in 7 days. Keystone reports 23 inches and Breckenridge is reporting 21 inches in seven days. So…this weekend will be spread out by the Front Range weekend warriors.
Keep the snow coming Snow Gods!!! And keep on praying to the Snow Gods! Our prayers are being answered. For those who can afford taking a sick day, now is the time. Drop your work, and sprint to the mountains. There is just so much snow!!!
Finally, be careful out there. There are a lot of people who are simply not great skiers. Not knocking them…but this is one reason why I wear a helmet. It’s scary when you almost get hit by an out of control skier. Ski-Blog just wrote an article about this. They talk about the gaper. Check out this article when you get a chance, there are some good tips!!! The title of the article is Learn Some Etiquette.
