This morning we had additional 2 inches of snow bringing the 24 hour total to 5 inches. The town clears not only the streets, but makes an extra effort to plow the sidewalks. Around 10am, I decided to clean my car of snow. It is becoming a daily chore (see video). Every time we decided to go skiing, the wind and snow picked up. Around 11am, I talked with several people coming back from Keystone and said it wasn’t worth it. There were white out conditions not only in the parking lot but at the top of the mountain and very cold wind chill temps. That ended the thought of going skiing today. In the late afternoon, we went to the Arapahoe CafĂ© for ribs and Happy Hour. After dinner we made our way down to the Dam Brewery for one last happy hour cocktail and make arrangements for skiing tomorrow and happy hour on Sunday. Only light snow is forecast for tomorrow.

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.
