SNOW! 1st of the Year

[Little Lightning]

Arrived at the condo above Silverthorne and all the high peaks are covered in snow. Loveland and Copper reported snow and the peaks toward Breck were covered too. Maybe early opening dates?

Love hearing this!! We are going up to our Silverthorne condo in 2 weeks...

Rained here last night at 9750 ft. but the snow line is lower on Grey's and Torrey's Peak. West side of Loveland Pass above the Eisenhower Tunnel is also snow covered.

We have tickets tonight for Lake Dillion Theatre which is now in Silverthorne. What passes did you get this year?

Raining here in Calgary, but we got a skiff in the mountains! Here's the top of Lake Louise ski resort :

We got the Rocky Mountain Super Pass..as much as I enjoyed ABasin and Keystone last year, I'm really looking forward to returning to Copper and Winter Park...and, a few more days at Steamboat.

Snow?!? Lucky! Just rain here in Japan.

May see you at Copper. This year we downsized with Copper and Keystone-A-Basin. We're doing Taos instead of Steamboat. The play was very good, highly recommend it if you enjoy theatre.

LL, You will love Taos! We went there last season. I may be coming back to Steamboat, it all depends on the storm patterns. Might be headed to Jackson and Big Sky, or perhaps Banff. DH cannot commit to any location since he prefers to chase dream snow. (chasing dreams is more like it....ugh )

We usually ski Monday thru Thursday...if you are up during the week, let me know!!

I long to ski Taos...tho, we also got a couple of days at Crested Butte, which I've wanted to ski for a long time. I also just found out we have unlimited at Eldora...so, we will be resort hopping a lot this year.

Monday thru Thursday is our routine too. We skied Eldora in March, it is a fun little mountain and it was very quiet the day we were there. We got the Copper only pass because we get 3 days at Taos.

We've been there 3 maybe 4 times over the years, including one summer bicycle touring. Decided it was time to go back. Totally understand the chasing dreams. I remember when I lived in Cincinnati. We spent lots of hours checking snow reports and praying for a big dump at the resort before we arrived. Sometimes we got lucky other times we were just happy to be on vacation.

I have so many fond memories of little Eldora. When I lived in Boulder, we used to shoot up there if we had limited time (which was a lot of the time). The road up was unpaved and the "lodge" was sticks and glue, but it was such a fun spot.

 

[Little Lightning]

Pike's Peak got 6-12" of snow last night. Can't wait until the clouds clear so we can see the top.

 

[Powgirl]

My SO is a ranger on Piles Peak (his post retirement job)...he spent yesterday plowing the road and bringing hikers down out of the snow.

I took a shot of it this morning, but can't figure out how to post it here...?

Go here for help.

(I use the drag n' drop method, myself.)

 

[Powgirl]

Thank you, SkiDiva...hopefully, you can see it.

 

[Little Lightning]

Sun is shining on it this morning. Can see the white capped peak from my bedroom window.

 

[Fluffy Kitty]

All you can see is a little dusting mid-mountain at Mt. Bachelor, but...

Here's a crop. Exciting!

 

[Fluffy Kitty]

It's getting there! (not the first, first snow, but first snow that came to the base area.)
