We woke up to cloudy skies but no new snow. The local weather report was now reporting that the storm would effect locations west of Vail Pass. This meant that Vail and Beaver Creek resorts would receive the most snow. But around 8am, a light snow started and continued into the afternoon. A total of about 4 inches was received. A far cry from the 12-18 inches that was expected yesterday. We went to Keystone to ski in the fresh power which was a lot of fun. Skiing in fresh power however takes a lot of energy. We only lasted only about 1 ½ hours. As we were coming down the trail, the snow stopped and BLUE skies opened up. However it only lasted about 10 minutes. We returned home and rested up to for to the Arapahoe cafĂ© for Burger Night. After having dinner, we returned home and went to bed early to hopefully get an early start in the morning.

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.
