We didn't quite get the snow that the East side of the Divide did. I am hearing 2' in Idaho Spring and Black Hawk. Wow. Watching the maps, the storm never quite pushed over the divide the way NOAA forecast. It has been snowing lightly all morning. The wind is favoring Montezuma Bowl. Leigh, in Golden, just told me the snow on her porch was deeper than her 12" ruler. You might have more new snow in your yard than we have up here, but it will still be really good skiing here. Leave early and drive safely in the morning.
I did my first tour of the season in Zuma this morning. Tony C, Becs, Louie and I skied Columbine and Larkspur/Independence. Not bad. The photos show some good things. We are getting there. I can't say "almost there" just yet, but a couple good storms might do it. Today confirmed for me how much people really want to ski back there. We turned the lift just long enough for our group to ride up and out. In that time about 75 people saw the lift turning and came over to see if they could ski it. Sorry for raising false hopes. You know we will open just as soon as we can.
