Take good care of that place, I'll be there the 19th-21st.

I really want to watch the bears win, but I really want to ski some pow too...

Breck got a lot of snow. A friend posted a picture of the door to his office on the mountain, and the snow had drifted up to the bottom of the window on the door, probably close to 3+ feet with the...

Breck is reporting 228" on the year, and Vail is reporting 214". It's definitely been good out there this year, but have they really gotten 50-60" more than Aspen?

Had some up to knee deep in the trees on Butler Gulch. Good stuff.

A-basin was decent today. Even though it was packed and people were parking almost down to keystone, lift lines never seemed too bad. Got first tracks down long chute when it opened - that was nice.

What he said. First run in those Aspen trees was one of the best runs of my life. Skiing the rest of the day was great as well, but it tracked out and warmed up fast. My first run over there in...

cotrip.org is now saying VP is closed in both directions.

I drove from Boulder to Leadville b/w 4 and 7 this evening. It was dumping east of Idaho Springs, light to no snow from Georgetown to Copper, seemed to be picking up a bit towards Vail Pass, over...

Drove from Aspen to Leadville today, which was a pain in the ass, as I70 was closed. Coming out of Margy's it was snowing steady all morning, and the peaks around Carbondale/El Jebel were sacked in....

I70 westbound was ridiculous from Silver Plume to the tunnel last night. I think it took me an hour to travel about 10 miles or so (almost 4 hours total from Boulder to Leadville). Cars were...

Been snowing pretty good for a couple hours in Leadville.

For sure. I'll be back in CO on the 1st and will be done with my Masters obligations MLK weekend (woohoo!). There's a few places we can explore now, but it would be nice to have some more options...

Montanaskier: Pick One

-an Alabama win/worst winter in decades

-Alabama loss/best winter in the last century

I wonder which one you would root for (all other scenarios are off the table for...

I just drove up from Boulder to Leadville. It was snowing pretty hard from Georgetown to Silverthorne - Loveland could be pretty good tomorrow. It was snowing, but a little lighter from...

I was thinking we're closer to 6-8 on the ground at this point with snow still falling. It's nice to see snow around town.

I drove Boulder-Leadville this morning. It was not snowing. Road was damp but not really snowy or icy except over Fremont and in Leadville. Boulder has more snow on the ground than Leadville at...

I like how you say Central Mountains Sunday and Mon/Tues.

I was wondering. The Sawatch had some dark clouds over it this morning. It was snowing hard for about 30 minutes here, but the sun is now shining through the clouds. It looks like it should be...

When is this? It's 50* today and tomorrow, and 40* on Saturday at 10k here in Leadville. I'm thinking rain rather than snow here until Sunday. Best bet looks like rain during the days and snow at...

I always wondered why they don't have that level of restriction. My guess is that they don't want to pay for the cops that would have to be at every exit to enforce it. With how many truckers try...

We got maybe up to 18" so far up here. It started a little wet, but most of this new snow is pretty dry and will ski rather nice.

Didn't you know Rontele is head of NOAA, and NCAR too, so if he says something about the weather, it must be true.

Snowmass was great today. Snowed most of the day, and still snowing. The dust layer was very prevalent here with brown snow everywhere, though the new lighter snow that was coming down today was...

been snowing pretty solidly all evening here - which is somewhere west of Leadville.

It's been coming down pretty good all day here, but it's pretty wet, maybe 5 in. of wet snow out in the parking lot. It's really slick, 2 4x4 trucks both just got stuck outside my window.

From wikipedia:

Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountain tops which are exposed to low clouds. It is equivalent to...

Berthoud was very nice today.

^^ That's what I was thinking. It kinda spit rain for a bit right at the beginning here at 10k, but then it was all snow. weather.gov is showing highs up to 31 this week for Leadville. That's way...

It was relatively warm in Leadville this morning. Didn't even feel like I really even needed a jacket when I left my house for work at 6am.

This sounds interesting for any weather geeks:

Colorado Mountain Meteorology Workshop

It's put on by the CAIC and is in Leadville Feb 5th. I might try and get work to pay for it. Nothing like...

I'm not sure where it's at, you can get the lat-long at the snotel website. Snow totals are not super reliable from these, but they seem to give a general idea what locations got more snow than...

Fremont Pass snotel = 15in in last 24
Copper snotel = 17 in last 24
Indy Pass snotel = 10 in last 24
Jones/Berthoud snotel = 1 in last 24
Rabbit Ears = 12 in last 48
Schofield Pass = 4 in last...

It is DUMPING right now. I woke up to maybe 8" of new and it hasn't stopped - probably another 4 - 6 in the last 4 hours. Crazy big huge fat flakes coming down outside the window.

Or is that from the east side? It's not a bad approach from E Portal TH.

It's pretty cold here. Bought to head up to Ball Mtn/E Side of town. Hope it's filled in enough by now.

Keep 'em coming. Copper was good today. I swear no one is skiing the trees there. Well, except for me. Made for a good day of calf to knee deep almost every tree run. Winds were blowing fierce...

It is hammering in Leadville right now. Snowing for the past 3-4 hours.

Nice. Hopefully that will leave a solid window open Sunday for a climb of Elbert.

Kinda bummed. We shoulda got more up here outta this SW flow, but only a few inches. A little bit is better than none though.

Crazy. Anyone skiing it at the time? Any pics of that out there?

We had knee deep all day in the trees at copper. There was nobody there, and no one skiing the trees really, so we had it all...

Highlands is reporting 15, 23 in the last 48. If I didn't have so much work to do this weekend, I would've been there. Vail - 12, beaver creek - 14, breck and keystone - 5, loveland reports 11. We...

That's tempting to use one of my highlands days, but I hear it's pretty thin up there so far, so not sure if I want to make the trek over yet. I'm using one day for sure over xmas, so need to make...

Is there a contingency plan in place if you miss the final, or will the prof just give you an F? Having to take a whole class over again would suck more than missing one powder day IMO. I'd email...

^^ Looks like a NOAA point forecast? What location? Leadville area isn't predicting that promising so far, but if click up around Massive and towards Indy Pass it looks good.

Ah, a different JT, that would explain my confusion.

Huh? hopefully we get a solid pounding up here and I'll be out skiing all weekend. Wednesday after work should be good too. Maybe Cal Gulch will be filled in enough I won't be dodging rocks this...

Hoping they don't close the tunnel?

Still wanna tour sometime this weekend? Not sure which day I can make it happen yet. It's snowing pretty good up here right now. Hope it keeps up.

It's snowing here at the moment. One decent storm and most stuff around here will be filled in. Fingers crossed for after school turns on Wednesday.
