This morning was one of the coldest so far. It was 2 below at 7am. But the sun was out and not a cloud in the sky. It would be a “Blue Bird Morning”. By 9am, the temp warmed up to 8 degrees. So after breakfast, we went to Copper Mtn to ski. Around lunch time, it started to become VERY windy. You could tell at the highest pecks, the rocks were starting to show. We skied in Union Creek bowl, where the wind was blowing the snow sideways and causing some white out conditions. So we skied out of the bowl and down to West Village for lunch. After returning home, we went to Pug Ryan’s for Happy Hour where we talked to some other skiers that experience the same conditions. While no snow is on the horizon, warmer temps are.

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.
