The total snowfall for the resorts was between 6-10 inches. This morning was clear with temps around 12 degrees. The tree outside our window was heavy with the white stuff. And as I walked Benny this morning, there was a steady stream of cars going up the mountain to Keystone.  Today we when snow shoeing at the Keystone Recreation center. When we arrived, clouds moved it and the temp dropped into the high teens. We were smarter this year and only stayed out about 1 hour. Last year on our first day snow shoeing we were out about 2 ½ hours and we were really hurting after that. With all of the people arriving for MLK weekend, we decided to stay in and have dinner at home. It was a nice quiet evening at home. Tomorrow, there will be periods of sun and much milder, temps in the mid 40s. The big event tomorrow night will be the Super Blood  Wolf Moon. So plan to stay up late and see this event.

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.
