As I do every time I think it might snow, I got up a little past 5 and looked on the back porch. No snow - profanity, curse, swear. I went about my morning duties. Eventually I turned on 9News to see Matt Renoux reporting from the Copper Mountain Dew Tour. It was dumping and he was totally and completely pasted with snow. Of course I thought that was funny and awesome knowing it was heading our way. So far this morning we have a very high intensity storm dumping 2-3 inches in the base area and it is still snowing. It looks like we may see another burst tomorrow evening. We are so close to getting Pali Lift open.
