Snow in May in Colorado
That’s correct. I was skiing in powder on May 1st 2010 at Arapahoe Basin. I had freshies aka first tracks in the chutes on Pali and in Montezuma, all over the place! The pow was not as deep as the Saturday prior where I was literally realizing how much I ski with my mouth open…so much snow going in my mouth. I’m not exaggerating at all and I didn’t fall! The ski season this year has been challenging in terms of snowfall. There really hasn’t been much compared to years past. However, the past 2 weeks have been phenomenal. Colorado really does offer you the ability to ski in powder, golf, and catch a baseball game all in one day. There simply not too many other places in the world that provide or allow you to have this lifestyle. If you’ve hung up your skis for the season, I’d highly reconsider. Let me put things in perspective…2 days ago, I was jumping off mandatory air, and hucking off small rocks, plowing through bumps, taking huge turns at high speeds with zero fear of falling, slipping on ice, and hitting a rock or tree. It’s still awesome skiing and I do highly recommend spending your time and cash at Arapahoe Basin!
