Another beautiful and mild morning. It was 27 degrees at 10am going up to the mid 40’s. The headline in the local newspaper was that the Breckenridge Ski Resort will try and stay open thru Memorial Day. This hasn’t happened since the mid 90’s. The resort is closing in on 200 inches of snow for the season. This didn’t happen until late March last year. The forecast is for more snow Monday afternoon into Tuesday. Two weeks ago, Breckenridge had there annual Ullr Fest (God of Snow). I guess he listened.

One of the first things the snow plows plow are the sidewalks. Just like home (ha ha). Makes for safe walking conditions. In the afternoon, we walked over to the remodeled Amphitheater. It opened over the summer and had concerts scheduled each weekend. After the walk, we went to the Sauce on the Blue to watch the 2 championship games and Happy Hour. We all saw the 2 best games of all time.  GO New England and LA Rams. It should make for a hell of a Superbowl.

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.
