In the morning there was about 3 inches of heavy wet snow on the ground. The temp was already 37 degrees at 8am under cloudy skies. We got ready and went to Keystone around 11am. The parking lot was already very crowded and the attendants were squeezing every car they could into the parking lot. We went to the Mountain House to ride the lift to the top. At the top we found that none of the trails were groomed and because the snow was heavy, it felt like skiing thru cement. We were completely over dressed and I think it was warmer at the top then the base house. We only lasted 3 runs and then we went to River Run to walk around the village. I noticed that the Keystone ice sculpture had cracks in it because of the warm temps. In the evening we went to Baglia’s in Frisco for our Valentine’s dinner. Tomorrow the forecast is calling for more snow but also temps in the mid 30’s to low 40’s. It may not be a ski day 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.
