Another very cold morning under partly cloudy skies. It was 3 below at 7:30am. It wasn’t until 10am that the temp rose to + 5 degrees. We decided to get out of the house and we went to Copper Mtn. However, when we got there, it started to snow very lightly and continued for most of the day. While it snowed for about 4 hours, the snow only accumulated about ½ inch. Thank goodness there wasn’t many people skiing today. Between the cold, wind and snow, it was a very miserable day. The restaurant where we had lunch had a wall filled with small logs. It was very decorative. After lunch, we skied down and caught the bus back to the parking lot. We were home by 3:30pm and we rested up. The cold and wind really takes a lot of energy out of you. We stayed in tonight and stayed WARM. The forecast is calling for another very cold day.

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.
