Snow on the way!



Right now there are 2 resorts open in the Rockies, Loveland, and A-Basin. Pretty marginal conditions at both resorts but it's the earliest they have ever been open so it's good to have any cover to slide on. According to www.snow-forecast.com we have about 2 and half feet of snow on the way this week to add to the couple of inches we got last night. There's snow on the front range down here in Denver this morning which is always a welcome sight. The forecasts have been changing a bit but it looks like we should see the first solid dump which should open up some nice slackcountry terrain up on Loveland pass, with a real easy hike and hitch back up. Hopefully it will also open some more of the mountain up at A-Basin which has only 2 short runs open at the moment. Fingers are firmly crossed.

Snow Levels
A-Basin: 18 inches
Loveland: 16 inches
