Well the snow started around 5am and lasted till around 1pm. I would say that we had about 3 inches of snow. Temps were near 30 degrees all day, so the snow was very wet. Because of the light snow and white conditions, we didn’t go skiing today. Stayed home and continued to put the condo into shape. The one thing we did, was use our new washer and dryer. This is much better than going to the Laundromat. We did take a side trip to Keystone to check out the parking situation. Last year there was a free parking area by the mountain house. Now you have to pay $10 daily to use the lot. Also the non-discounted weekday lift ticket is $158. Around 4pm, we went to Pug Ryan’s for happy hour and say hello to the bartenders. Our next chance of snow is Friday evening into Saturday. Let’s hope the snow fall is larger

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.
