What Is Next?

What are the next trails to open?  HMMMM.  Actually, I think Pali Main Street and The Lower Face are getting pretty close.  Montezuma Bowl is much improved.  The fencing back there is really good.  The snowcats have been about halfway down Columbine and on much of Larkspur.  Look for Zuma when the base gets above 35".

Snowy Day

We have actually had a mixed day.  The sun popped out from time to time.  A bit of snow fell.  Right now it is snowing and there is a favorable NW wind blowing.  The forecast the next 48 hours looks good for us.  I did ski this morning and the 5" we received from the storm has been a big improvement.

A Night in Spain

Chef Rybak pulled off another great one.  It snowed a couple of inches during the chairlift ride up and during the dinner.  The walk down was really special.  I wish I had the camera equipment and skills to capture the images that night.  While still snowing lightly, the clouds broke up and the moon was nearly fully.  The images of  The East Wall, Black Mountain, The Professor, and Loveland Pass  were just beyond description.  A VERY, VERY COOL night.  And the food and music was pretty darn good.

Unsettled Weather

This afternoon a few scattered flurries are falling from the sky.  The forecast for the week looks a bit unsettled.  Snow is mentioned every day now through Wednesday.  My fingers are crossed.  I am looking forward to tonight's Dinner in Spain at Black Mountain Lodge.

A-Basin Reusable Bag

Wouldn't you love to have an Arapahoe Basin reusable bag?  That is quite a status symbol when shopping in City Market.  And think of all plastic bags you won't use.
