Overnight we received an additional 2 inches of snow. The reports from the ski resorts all showed 4-6 inches of the white stuff. This morning was clear and mild with temps in the mid 20s. As I walked our dog this morning, I noticed the side driveway was closed because of the overhang of snow/ice from the roof. Same problem for the last several years. We went to Copper Mtn and again the crowds were missing. We skied right onto the lift. Maybe the crowds are gearing up for MLK weekend. The trails had very few people on them. By 2pm, the winds picked up and brought with it very mild temps. At the base it was 39 degrees. I guess this is the forerunner of the major snow storm we are suppose to get tomorrow. In the evening we went to the bar/restaurant famous for their over 100 bottles of liquor – Sauce on the Blue. Happy hour was great. Maybe we will wake up tomorrow and there will be a foot of snow (ha ha).

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.
