Another 1-2 inches of snow fell overnight. In the morning it was overcast and cold. But again by 9:30am, the sky started to brighten and we went to Copper Mtn. We found great skiing conditions which included fresh power on many of the trails. The weekend crowds hadn’t arrived yet, so we had many of the runs to ourselves. We did find another improvement at Copper. At the end of the Roundabout trail and at the top of the Kocomo lift, a new restaurant/rest stop was built. It is a good ski in/ski out stop and an alternative to the Union Creek restaurant in West Village. By the end of the afternoon, the sun was out and the lift lines were becoming longer. For dinner, we went to Taco Margarita, where the food was excellent along with the margaritas. You can just about finish one. As we were returning from dinner, it started to snow again. Tomorrow it suppose to be sunny and temps in the mid 30s.

Tuesday Feb 26, 2019 (FINAL REPORT)

This will be my last update for my blog. We will be leaving Colorado and traveling to Cottonwood Arizona to visit relatives. It was a wonderful time in Colorado . Today was the mildest day so far. It was 28 degrees at 7am and went up to 41 by 3pm. The sun was in its full glory and you had to put on plenty of sun screen. The only problem with this weather is the morning hours where there is a refreeze of the slush from the day before . This not only includes the parking lots but the snow that hasn’t been groomed. Chunks of ice are all over the place until the melting process begins. The next few days will continue the mild weather. Thank you for reading my blog.

We had a little of each today. It was a weird weather day. This morning started under sunny skies and temps around 28 degrees. However, the weather report was still calling a BIG storm. So we went to Keystone to catch the first chair. The snow was good and the trails all groomed. We skied our usual 2 hours and with the Friday crowds starting to show up we went home. But by 2pm, heavy snow started and we had a very quick 3-4 inches. The snow turned the roadways into parking lots and I70 was closed again because of multiple spin outs. As quickly the snow started falling, by 5pm it was only very light snow. So I don’t know if that was the BIG storm that was coming. The roadways were still a mess so we stayed in for the night. Tomorrow morning we will see the storm totals. Whatever the totals it will be great skiing for the vacationers.
