We received about 2 inches of snow overnight bringing our “storm” totals to about 6 inches. A far cry from the forecasted totals. Again it was a mild morning with temps starting at 33 degrees. Around 10am, the sun came out and we went to Copper. We were surprised that we were able to get into the parking lot. This is the start of the big President’s weekend. At Center Village they were setting up for the Winterfest Party associated with this. After skiing for several hours we went to the Eagle BBQ for lunch. The best BBQ in the village. No new snow today and the day ended under a cloudless sky. And how time flies. This morning I received a picture from our neighbors who visited us 4 years ago. When they were here, we had a great time skiing and going to HH with them. The weather forecast again calls for heavy snow tomorrow but with colder temps. We will see.

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.
