5 Feet of Fresh Colorado Snow

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Loveland reported 5 feet of fresh snow during the past week.  Denver was blanketed in snow today.  Fort Collins reported 5 inches of snow.  The roads were icy and all I could think about was continuing to drive on highway 6, getting off on 70 and hitting up Beaver Creek who reported 7 new inches today.  I sat in my office and watched the snowfall visualizing bombing down a run with powder shots hitting my face.  I left work and ended up at the ski shop picking up my Gotama’s which are my rock skis this year.  I hit multiple rocks on Breckenridge during our powder day last Saturday.  The ski shop was busy and I imagine the ski resorts will to be very busy this year.  The fear is they will be so slow due to the economy that some have taken extreme measures such as laying off employees.  I hope the snow gods prevail and prove the forecasters wrong.

When you take your next ski trip, be sure to check out our Colorado Ski Reports showing ski reports from all of the major resorts and ski areas and or our Coloraod Ski Traffic Report guiding you to the mountains.  Hope these sites help you out for your next ski vacation or ski trip.

Snow Blowing Has Begun At Colorado’s Ski Areas

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

That’s right! Check out the webcams at Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Loveland is making snow too. Here is the link to some of Loveland’s photos.

The race is on. The question isn’t who will open first, but when will they open? Hopefully soon. Both ski areas should get a little help from Mother Nature this upcoming weekend. Snow is in the forecast for the mountains. Cross your fingers and wax your skis…the 08-09 Rippin Ski Season is right around the corner.
